OFFICE  OF  BUREAU  OF  STATISTICS  OF  LABOR, 


33  Pemberton  Square,  Boston,  April,  187(5. 


Hon.  John  D.  Long,  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives : 

Sir, — I have  the  honor  to  transmit,  herewith,  for  the  information  of  the  Legislature, 
"The  Census  System  of  Massachusetts  for  1875.”  This  volume  contains  all  the  sched- 
ules, blanks,  instructions,  etc.,  employed  by  this  Bureau  in  prosecuting  the  work  of  the 
Decennial  Census  and  Industrial  Statistics  of  the  State,  for  the  year  ending  May  1,  1875, 
together  with  a brief  description  of  the  system  and  the  methods  of  tabulation,  as  well  as 
an  account  of  the  number  of  enumerators  and  clerks  employed,  with  other  particulars 
respecting  the  performance  of  the  work.  It  was  thought  best  to  preserve  these  matters 
in  permanent  form,  and  to  that  end  the  principal  portion  of  this  volume  was  printed  at 
the  time  of  use,  and  from  the  stereotype  plates  in  the  possession  of  the  State. 


Very  respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 


CARROLL  D.  WRIGHT,  Chief.

THE  CENSUS  SYSTEM  OF  MASSACHUSETTS 

FOR  1S75. 


The  following  pages  embrace,  in  addition  to  the  Industrial  Statistics  Schedule,  copies 
of  all  the  blanks  used  in  taking  the  decennial  census  and  industrial  statistics  of  1875.  The 
Industrial  Statistics  Schedule,  with  its  index  and  laws,  covers  the  first  109  pages.  In  order 
to  make  clear  its  origin  and  illustrate  its  uses,  it  is  necessary  to  give  a brief  sketch  of  the 
four  preceding  censuses  taken  under  the  authority  of  the  State.  This  schedule  owes  its 
existence,  primarily,  to  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  of  1837  (chapter  199),  entitled,  "An  Act 
to  obtain  statistical  information  in  relation  to  certain  branches  of  industry,”  the  first  section 
of  which  states,  that  "the  assessors  of  each  town  in  the  Commonwealth  shall,  between  the 
first  day  of  May  and  the  first  day  of  October  next,  make  a return  to  the  Secretary  of  the 
Commonwealth,  of  the  following  facts,  as  they  exist  in  each  town  on  the  first  day  of  April, 
preceding.”  The  remainder  of  the  section  specifies  the  facts  desired.  They  are  substan- 
tially, the  quantity  and  value  of  stock  used,  of  goods  manufactured,  of  capital  invested, 
and  hands  employed,  for  about  forty  industries  which  are  enumerated  by  name,  and  which 
were  at  that  time,  doubtless,  the  principal  industries  carried  on  in  the  State.  A saving 
clause  provides  for  obtaining  the  same  facts  respecting  any  "other  industries.”  By  this 
Act,  the  products  of  the  soil  were  not  asked  for.  The  only  productive  property  inquired 
about,  were  Saxony,  merino,  and  other  sheep  ; and  the  questions  were  in  respect  to  the 
number  of  each  breed,  and  to  the  quantity  of  each  kind  of  wool  produced,  "the  average 
weight  of  fleece  per  head,”  the  value  of  the  product,  and  the  capital  invested.  Inquiries 
were  provided  respecting  the  fisheries  of  the  State,  such  as  the  number  of  vessels  engaged 
in  fishing,  their  tonnage,  the  kind,  quantity,  and  value  of  the  fish  caught,  and  of  salt  con- 
sumed. Section  4 declares  that,  "each  assessor  shall  receive  from  the  treasury  of  the 
Commonwealth,  one  dollar  and  twenty-five  cents  a day  for  every  day  that  he  shall  be 
employed  in  making  the  return  aforesaid;”  section  G,  that,  "if  the  assessors  of  any  town 
shall  willfully  neglect  to  make  the  return  aforesaid,  in  the  manner  aforesaid,  such  assessors 
shall  forfeit  to  the  Commonwealth  a sum  not  exceeding  one  hundred  dollars.”  hTo  part  of 
the  Act  authorizes  the  use  of  a legal  process  to  enforce  the  obligations  laid  upon  assessors, 
it  either  being  considered  that  compulsion  was  unnecessary  in  a work  of  such  general  use- 
fulness to  all,  or  that,  as  the  native  ilew  Englander  has  always  been  impatient  of  much 

[vii.]

interference  with  what  he  is  pleased  to  term  "private  rights,”  it  was  thought  expedient  to 
trust  to  the  good  sense  and  discretion  of  the  assessors  to  elicit,  in  the  most  practicable  way, 
the  information  desired.  It  is  probable  that  the  latter  was  the  chief  reason  for  leaving  the 
Act  in  this  comparatively  inoperative  state. 

March  21, 1845,  an  Act  (chapter  171)  was  passed,  having  the  same  title  as  the  preced- 
ing, and  similar  in  form,  authorizing  the  collecting  of  industrial  statistics  in  that  year,  the 
facts  to  be  presented  “as  they  exist  in  each  city  or  town,  on  the  first  day  of  April  next.” 
This  Act  differed  in  no  way  from  that  of  1837,  — the  language  employed,  even,  being  iden- 
tical with  it,  — except  that  additions  were  made  to  the  heads  of  industries  enumerated, 
making  the  number  mentioned  about  ninety,  inclusive  of  some  having  reference  to  products 
and  productive  property.  The  principal  items  in  the  latter  class,  are  certain  domestic 
animals,  such  as  horses,  asses,  nudes,  neat  cattle,  and  swine,  of  which  the  number  and  value 
was  asked.  In  regard  to  agricultural  products,  the  quantity  raised,  and  the  value  of  the 
following  were  called  for:  Indian  corn,  wheat,  rye,  barley,  oats,  millet,  "potatoes,  and  other 
esculent  vegetables,”  hay,  hemp,  flax,  hops,  tobacco,  raw  silk,  teasels,  "fruit  of  various 
kinds,”  butter,  cheese,  honey,  and  beeswax. 

May  21,  1855,  an  Act  was  passed,  having  the  same  title  as  the  two  preceding,  making 
provision  for  again  gathering  statistics  of  "industry”  in  the  Commonwealth,  a decade 
having  elapsed  since  the  previous  census  was  taken,  and  it  being  the  intermediary  year 
between  the  decennial  censuses  taken  by  the  national  government.  This  Act  required  "the 
facts  as  they  exist  on  the  first  day  of  June  next,”  instead  of  April,  as  had  been  required  by 
the  former  Acts,  and  it  was  provided  that  assessors  should  be  paid  two  dollars  per  day, 
instead  of  one  dollar  and  a quarter.  Otherwise  there  was  hardly  a change  in  the  whole 
text  of  the  Act. 

April  24,  1805,  there  was  passed  " an  Act  to  obtain  the  industrial  statistics  of  the 
Commonwealth”  (chapter  146),  the  first  section  of  which  provided  that,  "the  aldermen  of 
each  city,  and  the  selectmen  of  each  town  in  the  Commonwealth,  shall,  between  the  first  day 
of  May  and  the  first  day  of  September,  in  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  sixty-five,  and 
also,  between  the  first  day  of  May  and  the  first  day  of  September  in  every  tenth  year 
thereafter,  make  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth  the  returns  hereinafter  specified,” 
such  returns  being  required  to  relate  to  the  facts  as  they  exist  on  said  first  day  of  May,  or 
to  the  facts  for  the  year  ending  on  that  day.  By  this  Act  it  is  seen  that  the  collection  of 
the  statistics  was  transferred  from  assessors,  to  the  aldermen  of  cities  and  the  selectmen 
of  towns.  This  change  was  made,  doubtless,  to  secure  greater  fulness  and  accuracy  in 
the  returns.  The  Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth,  in  his  letter  submitting  to  the  Senate  a 
statement  of  the  statistics  of  1855,  says:  “It  is  next  to  impossible  for  the  tax  payer,  when 
called  upon  by  the  assessors  to  answer  such  questions  as  were  propounded  under  the  law, 
to  divest  his  mind  of  the  impression  of  an  intimate  connection  between  his  answers  and  the 
assessment  of  his  taxes  ; hence  the  general  tendency  to  understate  results,  and  an  absolute 
refusal,  in  numerous  instances,  to  answer  at  all.  The  Act  of  1865  makes  a third  change 
in  the  date  to  which  the  statistics  should  relate,  fixing  it  as  the  first  day  of  May.  Section  5 


IX. 


provides  that,  "if  any  person  shall  refuse  to  give  the  information  required  in  said  first 
section,  he  shall  forfeit  and  pay  a sum  not  exceeding  one  hundred  dollars.”  The  general 
inquiries  provided  by  this  Act,  were  substantially  the  same  as  for  the  Acts  of  1837,  1845, 
and  1855;  but  the  specific  heads  of  "industries,”  as  by  a legislative  misnomer  the  statistics 
of  the  Commonwealth  have  continued  to  be  called,  respecting  which  the  information  was 
desired,  were  increased  to  two  hundred  and  seventeen,  nearly  one-third  of  which  had  refer- 
ence to  the  land  and  its  products,  domestic  animals  and  fisheries. 

Censuses  of  the  people  relating,  however,  to  but  few  particulars,  have  been  taken  at 
various  times.  There  were  Colonial  censuses  in  1754,  1765,  and  1776,  and  State  censuses 
were  ordered  in  1837,  1840, 1850.  The  census  has,  also,  been  taken  in  Massachusetts  under 
the  national  government,  each  tenth  year  since  1790.  The  regular  decennial  enumeration 
of  the  inhabitants,  under  State  authorization,  was  begun  in  1855,  in  connection  with  the 
collection  of  the  industrial  statistics. 

Section  2,  of  the  Act  passed  May  21,  1855,  entitled  "An  Act  to  secure  a Decennial 
Census,”  specifies  that,  "this  enumeration  shall  distinguish  the  males  and  the  females,  and 
the  color  of  each  ; the  natives  and  the  foreigners,  and  of  the  latter,  the  country  in  which 
they  were  born;  and  it  shall  determine  the  ages  of  the  population  within  decennial  periods.” 
The  occupations  of  the  people,  the  number  of  dwellings,  the  number  of  families,  and  the 
number  of  deaf,  dumb,  blind,  insane,  and  idiotic  persons,  and  of  convicts,  were  also 
determined. 

The  decennial  census  of  1865,  was  taken  under  the  law  to  be  found  on  page  107. 
This  Act  is  still  operative,  and  formed  a part  of  the  authority  under  which  the  present  work 
has  been  done. 

The  full  text  of  the  Act  under  which  the  industrial  statistics  of  1875  were  collected, 
can  be  found  on  page  three  of  this  volume.  There  was  no  schedule  of  heads  of  industries 
incorporated  in  this  latter  Act ; but  section  3 provides  that  the  Bureau  of  Statistics  of 
Labor  shall  revise  the  schedule  of  1865,  and  also  make  such  alterations  and  additions  as  the 
secretary  of  the  board  of  education,  the  secretary  of  the  board  of  agriculture,  and 
the  insurance  commissioner  should  suggest,  and  that  such  revised  schedule  should  be  laid 
before  the  Governor  and  Council,  on  or  before  the  first  day  of  December  following,  and 
when  approved  by  them,  should  be  substituted  for  the  schedule  of  1865.  In  compliance 
with  this  law,  the  officers  of  the  Bureau,  to  whom  was  committed  the  duty  of  securing  the 
enforcement  of  its  provisions,  prepared  the  "Industrial  Statistics  Schedule  for  1875.” 
December  12,  1874,  it  was  submitted  to  the  Governor  and  Council,  was  by  them  referred 
to  a special  committee,  which  ten  days  later  reported  that  they  took  "great  pleasure  in 
recommending  its  approval.”  It  was  immediately  approved,  and  thus  became  a main  portion 
of  the  law  under  which  the  census  of  the  people  and  statistics  of  industries,  products, 
etc.,  of  1875,  were  taken.  One  thousand  copies  were  immediately  printed,  in  the  same  form 
in  which  it  appears  here,  with  a complete  index  of  subjects,  and  the  laws  relating  to  the  work. 

In  previous  decades  there  had  been  considerable  dissatisfaction  among  statisticians, 
on  account  of  the  inexactness  and  incompletness  of  the  information  obtained.  But  how  to 


C 


X. 


provide  for  securing  information  fuller  and  more  exact,  is  easier  to  be  seen  now,  than  fore- 
seen then.  In  future  years,  it  will  doubtless  be  an  easy  matter  to  perform  a work  of  this 
kind,  so  that  far  more  satisfactory  results  than  the  present,  shall  be  obtained.  The  causes 
of  miscarriage,  hitherto,  seem  to  have  lain  mainly,  in  five  points  : firstly,  that  the  work 
was  done  by  assessors  ; secondly,  that  they  were  not  properly  instructed  bow  to  do  it ; 
thirdly,  that  the  people  themselves  were  wholly  uninstructed  ; fourthly,  that  hundreds  of 
industries  and  products  were  not  inquired  about  specifically,  but  only  as  "other  industries;” 
fifthly,  that  the  people  were  not  compelled  to  reply.  In  regard  to  the  first,  it  is  plain  that 
there  could  be  no  more  ill-chosen  men  for  such  a work,  than  those  whose  business  it  is, 
under  other  laws,  to  appraize  property  and  assess  taxes  ; in  regard  to  the  second,  the  instruc- 
tions and  blanks  which  they  received  for  carrying  out  the  work,  were  the  meagre  and 
ill-digested  products  of  hasty  legislation,  the  best  that  could  be  prepared,  no  doubt,  under 
the  circumstances,  but  none  the  less  imperfect  and  poorly  calculated  to  secure  valuable 
results  ; for  instance,  the  schedule  for  1845  contained  inquiries  respecting  cards , without 
mentioning  whether  playing,  visiting,  wool,  or  animal  cards  were  meant.  In  regard  to  the 
third,  the  people  were,  to  a great  extent,  ignorant  of  the  scientific,  political,  and  economic 
objects  of  such  a work,  and  consequently  suspicious  of  the  uses  to  which  the  information 
would  be  put.  In  regard  to  the  fourth,  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars’  worth  of 
manufactures  were  returned  in  1845  and  1855,  simply  as  " other  industries,”  and  in  1865, 
about  thirteen  million  of  dollars’  Avorth  were  so  returned.  In  regard  to  the  fifth,  it 
could  scarcely  be  expected  that  there  would  be  universal  compliance  with  a law  which 
provided  no  punitive  means  to  secure  it,  and  which  was,  therefore,  in  the  nature  of  a recom- 
mendation rather  than  a demand.  There  were  various  other  causes  which  more  or  less 
affected  the  value  of  the  results.  Some  assessors  made  no  return  of  industries  not  inquired 
for  by  name.  On  many  of  the  blanks,  notably  in  1845,  but  a single  question  would  be 
answered,  and  in  the  work  of  tabulation,  estimates  inserted. 

In  vieAV  of  all  these  facts,  it  was  deemed  essential  that  the  schedule  for  1875  should  be 
prepared  with  the  utmost  care.  The  principal  features  of  divergence  from  former  schedules 
are  as  follows  : its  classification  of  subjects  into  manufactures,  occupations,  products  and 
property ; the  uniformity  of  all  queries  in  each  division  ; the  minute  specification,  under 
each  general  head,  of  the  subjects  inquired  about.  The  exchange  of  commodities  by  trade, 
and  the  valuation  of  property,  were  beyond  the  pale  of  the  law.  The  object  desired, 
Avas  the  production  of  the  State  and  the  condition  of  its  people , and  investigation  showed 
that  the  former  was  all  included  under  the  four  divisions  mentioned.  The  first  division 
contains  fifty  general  heads,  and  one  thousand  and  seventy-six  special ; the  second  contains 
three  general,  and  eighty-six  special ; the  third,  tAvo  general,  and  one  hundred  and  twenty- 
five  special ; the  fourth,  three  general,  and  fifty  special.  The  entire  number  of  special 
heads  is  one  thousand  three  hundred  and  thirty-seven.  The  inquiries  which  relate  to  the 
subjects  in  the  first  division  are  almost  invariably  six  in  number,  and  uniform  in  language. 
In  but  very  few  cases,  and  only  when  necessity  compelled,  is  there  any  divergence  from  this 
plan.  Experience  has  shown  that  too  much  care  can  not  be  exercised  in  the  form  of  a 


XI. 


question  which  it  is  desirable  should  be  understood  alike  by  thousands  of  persons.  What 
• was  intended  to  be  the  same  question,  in  the  schedules  of  some  former  censuses,  is  asked 

in  as  many  as  fifteen  different  ways.  While  such  literary  carelessness  can  not  be  admired, 
it  would  yet  be  hypercritical  to  notice  it,  were  it  not  that  the  various  writings  received 
various  interpretations,  and  produced  results  sometimes  different  from  what  was  intended. 
In  the  second, third,  and  fourth  divisions,  the  same  regard  was  paid  to  exactness  and  agree- 
ment in  the  queries,  but  the  exigences  of  the  subjects  demanded  that  they  should 
be,  sometimes,  more  or  less  than  six.  In  the  long  list  of  other  questions  soon  to  be 
referred  to,  the  same  care  was  exercised  that  each  should  express  exactly  what  was  meant. 
In  spite  of  all  the  thought  given  to  these  apparently  trifling  matters,  it  happened  that 
misapprehension  arose  in  regard  to  the  intent  of  some  inquiries.  Inquiry  twenty-two,  page 
93,  will  serve  as  an  example ; amount  deposited  in  savings  banks  by  each  family  : or,  as  it 
appeared  when  put  to  each  individual,  amount  deposited  in  savings  banks  by  your  family 
or  yourself.  This  was  understood  by  some  to  mean,  the  amount  on  deposit  on  the  first 
day  of  May,  1875,  and  by  others,  from  the  use  of  the  past  participle,  the  amount  deposited 
during  the  year  ending  May  1,  1875.  The  value  of  the  returns  was  so  much  vitiated  by 
this  misunderstanding,  that  they  were  not  used. 

The  inquiries  so  far  considered,  relate  to  the  first  object  to  be  attained  by  the  work, — 
the  production  of  the  State.  The  second  object,  — the  condition  of  its  people , — is  provided 
for  by  thirty-four  supplemental  questions,  relating  to  persons  employed  in  the  manufactures 
enumerated  in  the  first  division,  by  forty-two  relating  to  persons  employed  in  the  occupa- 
tions enumerated  in  the  second,  and  by  certain  special  inquiries  to  be  found  in  division  V. 
(page  89).  These  latter  embrace  twenty-six  inquiries,  relating  mainly  to  employers  and 
their  establishments,  twenty-four  relating  to  individuals,  eighteen  submitted  by  the  secretary 
of  the  board  of  education,  and  three  submitted  by  the  insurance  commissioner.  The  whole 
number  of  inquiries  amount  to  two  hundred  and  eighty-five.  On  page  107  are  fourteen 
inquiries  (by  sub-divisions,  making  nineteen)  relating  to  the  enumeration  of  the  people, 
which  formed  a portion  of  the  law  of  1865,  and  are  still  operative.  The  whole  number  of 
different  questions  asked,  then,  by  this  census,  is  three  hundred  and  four. 

In  regard  to  the  third  principal  feature  of  divergence  from  the  schedules  of  former 
years,  — the  minute  specification,  under  each  general  head,  of  the  subjects  inquired  about, — 
a few  words  will  be  of  value,  in  order  to  show  how  this  object  was  attained.  An  examination 
of  the  previous  reports  of  decennial  statistics,  will  show  plainly  that  if  the  system  inaugu- 
rated in  1837  of  enumerating  subjects  about  which  inquiry  should  be  made,  was  to  be 
continued,  as  it  has  been  in  all  censuses  since,  including  the  present,  too  much  particularity 
conld  not  be  employed.  There  is  no  doubt  but  manufactures  and  products,  amounting  to 
large  sums,  have  not  been  returned  in  former  years,  and  in  many  cases,  this  was  owing 
to  there  being  no  inquiry  for  the  thing  by  name.  In  the  preparation  of  the  present  schedule, 
fulness  of  detail  was  attained  by  the  following  means:  a printed  list  of  the  articles  manu- 
factured and  the  products  raised,  mentioned  in  the  schedule  of  1865,  was  prepared  and  sent 
to  the  assessors  of  every  town  and  city,  with  a request  to  add  the  names  of  all  manufactures 


Xll. 


or  products  belonging  to  their  respective  towns  or  cities,  not  appearing  thereon.  Large 
additions  were  obtained  in  this  way.  Recourse  was  then  had  to  the  census  statistics  of 
other  states  and  countries,  to  gazetteers,  directories,  the  trade  lists  of  mercantile  houses,  the 
advertising  columns  of  newspapers,  to  the  publications  of  florists  and  nurserymen,  agricult- 
ural and  other  works  devoted  to  special  lines  of  inquiry,  and  to  many  more  sources  which 
it  is  not  necessary  to  particularize,  from  each  of  which,  the  names  of  new  industries  or 
products,  known  to  pertain  to  some  part  of  the  State,  were  acquired. 

The  Industrial  Statistics  Schedule,  upon  its  approval  by  the  Governor  and  Council, 
became  the  basis  of  work.  Every  inquiry  in  it  is  to  be  found  on  some  one  of  the  six 
schedules  afterwards  issued,  and  no  others  appear  on  them,  with  perhaps  one  or  two 
exceptions. 

Following  the  Industrial  Statistics  Schedule,  beginning  on  page  111,  will  be  found 
copies  of  all  the  circular  letters,  blanks,  special  instructions,  etc.,  used  in  taking  the  census 
and  gathering  the  industrial  statistics,  in  the  order  of  their  issue.  The  blanks,  or  as  they 
have  been  invariably  termed  by  all  engaged  in  the  work,  schedules,  are  six  in  number,  and 
are  designated  as  the  Family,  Individual,  Manufactures,  Occupation,  Products  and  Prop- 
erty, and  Special.  On  pages  117  to  124  are  given  the  instructions  that  were  issued  to 
enumerators,  for  the  delivery  and  collection  of  the  Family  and  Individual  Schedules.  These 
instructions  formed  the  first  six  pages  of  a record  book,  that  otherwise  consisted  only  of 
blank  forms  with  a printed  head,  a flic-simile  of  which  can  be  seen  on  page  122.  There 
were  five  sizes  of  these  books.  The  smallest  was  of  four  sheets,  and  capable  of  holding 
the  record  of  about  five  hundred  Family  Schedules,  and  the  same  number  of  Individual. 
The  largest  was  of  twelve  sheets,  and  could  be  used  for  the  delivery  and  collection  of  about 
one  thousand  five  hundred  of  each  schedule.  They  were  bound  in  flexible  press-board 
covers,  and  could  be  easily  carried  in  the  pocket.  Following  this  (pp.  125-132),  are  the 
instructions  to  the  enumerator  respecting  his  work  with  the  Manufactures,  Occupation, 
Products  and  Property,  and  Special  Schedules.  These  instructions  were  also  supplemented 
with  blank  forms  for  his  record  of  progress,  and  bound  into  a similar  volume.  On  page 
134,  is  a copy  of  the  blank  furnished  to  the  enumerator  for  his  record  of  time  worked. 
Attached  to  it  was  the  bill-form  and  oath,  found  on  the  next  page.  He  was  required  to 
enter  daily,  in  the  former,  the  number  of  hours  worked,  and  on  the  completion  of  his  labors, 
to  fill  out  the  bill-form,  make  oath  to  its  correctness,  and  return  the  two,  unseparated,  to  the 
central  office.  After  comparison,  if  found  correct,  the  bill  received  the  approval  of  the  chief, 
was  severed  from  the  time  account,  and  transmitted  to  the  Auditor  of  the  Commonwealth, 
while  the  latter  was  filed  in  the  office  as  a voucher.  The  Family  Schedule,  found  on  pages 
137  and  138,  was  accompanied,  in  delivery,  with  a sheet  of  instructions  (pp.  139,  140)  to  the 
head  of  the  family.  The  other  five  schedules  contained  on  them  all  the  directions,  to  the 
persons  receiving  them,  that  were  considered  necessary. 

After  the  work  on  the  Family  and  Individual  Schedules  had  been  carried  on  a short 
time,  it  was  found  advisable  to  issue  some  supplementary  instructions  to  the  enumerators. 
The  appropriation  asked  lor  by  the  Bureau,  for  the  first  year’s  work,  was  $100,000  ; but 


XV. 


extra  sheet  served  to  tally  those  both  at  school  and  at  work.  Pauperism  and  crime  were 
also  considered,  for  the  time  being,  as  occupations,  and  the  results,  with  regard  to  sex  and 
age,  secured.  By  a system  of  cross-checking,  at  the  same  time  the  above  was  going  on, 
the  relation  of  every  unemployed  person,  by  sex  and  age,  to  the  head  of  the  family  in  which 
such  person  resided,  was  determined.  The  tabulation  sheets  were  so  arranged  as  to  easily 
supply  aggregations  of  the  occupations,  with  regard  to  sex,  into  the  great  divisions  of 
labor,  such  as  "Government  and  Professional,”  "Domestic  and  Personal  service,”  "Art 
and  Mechanic  Productions,”  etc. 

TUI.  For  place  of  birth  and  number  of  children  borne  by  each  woman.  By  this 
tabulation,  the  place  of  birth  of  each  person,  by  age  and  sex,  was  ascertained,  showing  the 
migratory  tendency  of  population  by  designating  those  born  in  the  town  tabulated.  The 
number  of  children  borne  by  each  woman  was  ascertained  with  regard  to  the  nativity  of 
the  mother,  in  order  to  determine  the  relative  fecundity  of  various  nationalities. 

Owing  to  the  diversity  of  heads  of  information  and  inquiries  in  the  Products  and 
Property  Schedule,  the  simplest  plan  was  deemed  the  best,  and  the  results  were  obtained  by 
a series  of  formulated  additions,  not  easy  to  explain  here,  as  was  also  the  case  Avith  the 
facts  contained  on  the  Special  Schedule. 

Nearly  eA’ery  answer  on  the  Manufactures  and  Occupation  Schedules  indicated  a 
quantity,  \Mue,  or  a number,  and  a general  form  was  arranged  for  the  tabulation  of  all  such 
replies.  By  the  plan  adopted,  the  vexations  of  long  columns  of  figures,  and  the  perplexi- 
ties of  additions,  were  avoided.  The  "Quantity,  Valuations  and  Numbers”  tabulation 
sheet,  measuring  fourteen  and  one-half  by  six  and  one-half  inches,  had  a capacity  for  easily 
aggregating  $180,000,000,  and  by  simple  variations  in  the  checking,  this  amount  could  be 
increased  ten  fold.  Upon  one  such  sheet  a total  of  $125,000,000  was  actually  aggregated, 
and  Avith  ease  on  the  part  of  the  clerk.  In  the  State  aggregation  for  industries,  showing 
goods  manufactured  and  capital  invested,  a book  containing  six  hundred  such  pages,  but 
necessarily  having  an  industry  to  each  page,  was  not  used  more  than  one  two-hundredth 
part  of  its  capacity  in  arriving  at  a total  of  $830,000,000.  In  dealing  wTith  such  large 
amounts,  the  necessity  of  proof  was  apparent,  and  in  every  case  where  it  Avas  deemed 
necessary,  the  figures  first  obtained  were  verified  by  subsequent  calculations.  Besides  the 
tabulation  forms  referred  to  above,  there  Avere  devised  others  specially  for  fisheries  and 
commerce,  aggregating  sheets  for  the  expeditious  massing  of  results  by  industries 
and  products,  and  many  proof  and  descriptive  forms  for  the  minor  points  of  the  various 
tabulations.  Special  sheets  and  books  were  prepared,  also,  for  reproducing  the  industrial 
statistics  of  1865  in  a shape  to  facilitate  comparison  with  those  of  1875. 

The  feature  that  distinguishes  the  present  decennial  census  of  the  population,  of 
industries,  etc.,  of  Massachusetts,  from  all  preceding  is,  that  written  replies  to  printed  ques- 
tions on  properly  prepared  blanks,  have  been  required  from  the  people  ; whereas,  hitherto 
questions  have  been  proposed  and  ansAvered  verbally.  The  advantages  of  this  method 
are  important,  and  the  disadvantages  no  greater  than  under  the  other.  The  advantages  are, 
superior  accuracy,  a saving  of  time,  and  a reflex  action  upon  the  people  themselves,  who 


XVI. 


are,  by  it,  informed  in  much  larger  measure  in  regard  to  the  uses,  scientific,  economical, 
and  political,  to  which  statistical  facts  can  be  applied.  It  certainly  is  not  the  least  of  its 
advantages,  that  it  is  highly  educational. 

By  this  plan,  also,  every  intelligent  person  who  desires  to  further  the  interests  of  the 
State,  has  ample  time  to  prepare  answers  to  all  the  inquiries  made  of  him.  Exact  state- 
ments will  thus  be  secured  generally,  in  place  of  the  mere  guesses  of  the  old  method:  for 
the  business  man,  overtaken  in  the  midst  of  business  by  the  old-time  census  gatherer,  will 
get  rid  of  him  as  quickly  as  possible  ; but,  if  he  can  have  a few  days  time,  he  will  fill  out 
or  cause  to  be  filled  out,  correctly,  the  answers  to  a printed  list  of  queries.  A saving  of 
time,  therefore,  in  the  enumeration,  is  sure  to  result. 

By  this  system,  the  central  office  is  put  in  possession  of  the  name  and  residence  of 
every  one  who  fills,  personally  or  by  proxy,  a blank  of  any  kind,  accompanied  by  the  name 
of  the  enumerator  receiving  and  accepting  it.  Thus,  in  every  case  of  failure  to  answer  any 
particular  question,  whether  from  carelessness  on  the  part  of  either  the  enumerator  or  citizen, 
or  from  any  other  cause,  the  record  furnishes  the  facts  necessary  to  allow  its  reiteration. 
In  the  case  of  all  misstatements,  accidental  or  otherwise,  which  are  sure  to  occur,  and  which 
the  office  examination  is  as  sure  to  disclose,  facility  is  thus  afforded  for  correction  The 
questions  found  upon  any  one  of  the  blanks  used  in  the  present  work,  are  so  linked  together, 
and  have  usually  such  a dependence  upon  each  other,  that  an  error  in  a single  reply  is 
discovered  immediately  upon  examination,  by  the  incongruity,  thus  introduced,  with  other 
replies.  Thousands  of  such  errors,  especially  in  regard  to  manufactures,  during  the  pro- 
gress of  the  present  work  have  been  corrected  through  the  medium  of  the  mail. 

It  has  been  seen  that  thirty-six  and  three-fourths  per  cent  of  the  people  filled  out, 
without  assistance  from  the  census  taker,  the  family  blank  containing  the  usual  census 
questions.  A large  proportion  of  the  remaining  sixty-three  and  one-fourth  per  cent,  who 
did  not  themselves  fill  out  the  blanks,  had  undoubtedly  considered  the  questions,  and 
debated  in  family  conclave  the  answers  proper  to  be  given.  The  age,  the  occupation,  the 
birthplace,  and  all  the  particulars  inquired  about,  were  talked  over  naturally,  and  when 
the  enumerator  called  for  the  schedule,  he  was  enabled  to  get  truthful  replies,  and  get  them 
quickly,  so  that  no  more  time  was  consumed  in  the  two  visits,  in  the  aggregate,  even  in 
the  case  of  the  sixty-three  and  one-fourth  per  cent  of  Family  Schedules  that  he  was  obliged 
to  fill  himself,  than  would  have  been  necessary  had  he  made  all  the  explanations  demanded, 
and  assisted  in  the  family  consultation  likely  to  have  been  held  to  secure  the  answers  at  the 
first  visit ; while  much  greater  accuracy  was  arrived  at.  The  superior  value  of  this  plan  as 
compared  with  the  methods  formerly  in  use,  was,  perhaps,  still  more  apparent  in  collecting 
the  manufacturing  and  agricultural  statistics.  Vast  numbers  of  schedules  were  received 
from  manufacturers  and  farmers  which  showed,  plainly,  that  great  care  had  been  taken,  and 
the  ledger  and  the  farm  book  consulted,  that  the  answers  might  be  exact,  as  was  demanded. 

To  make  these  statements  a little  clearer,  we  will  explain  the  modus  operandi  of  the 
office.  The  first  work  performed  upon  the  reception  of  the  schedules,  was  their  examination. 
This  work  was  done  by  clerks  selected  for  their  special  knowledge  of  the  subjects  likely  to 


Xlll. 


only  §70,000  was  granted,  and  it  was  found  that  this  sum  was  likely  to  prove  inadequate 
to  the  completion  of  the  labor  in  all  the  fulness  that  was  intended.  For  this  reason,  the 
instruction  sheet  to  be  found  on  page  143  was  issued,  authorizing  enumerators  to  abridge 
the  work  on  the  Individual  Schedule.  Advantage  was  taken,  also,  to  make  clear  some 
points  which,  it  was  discovered,  were  not  thoroughly  understood  respecting  the  Family 
Schedule.  Two  weeks  later,  and  soon  after  sending  out  the  four  remaining  schedules,  a 
second  instruction  sheet  (page  159)  was  issued,  emphasizing  the  preceding,  in  regard  to 
the  Individual  Schedule,  and  giving  some  additional  information  on  other  matters,  deemed 
necessary.  On  the  completion  of  their  labors,  enumerators  filled  out  the  blank,  a sample  of 
which  is  found  on  page  1G0,  and  transmitted  it,  with  the  schedules,  to  the  office.  On  page 
161  is  a transcript  of  a letter,  afterwards  sent  to  enumerators,  accompanied  by  the  list  of 
questions  found  on  the  two  succeeding  pages.  The  inquiries  therein  made  were  responded 
to  by  every  enumerator,  and  the  replies  form  a volume  of  one  thousand  pages,  embodying 
a large  amount  of  information.  Time  has  not  yet  been  afforded  for  the  complete  analysis 
of  this  material,  but  the  following  statement  may  be  of  some  value  and  interest : The 
average  per  cent  of  those  who  filled  out  the  Family  Schedule  without  assistance  from  the 
enumerator  (question  one),  is  found  to  be  thirty-six  and  three-fourths.  Out  of  three  hun- 
dred and  eighty-four  replies  to  question  two  (by  which  class,  native  or  foreign,  was  this 
most  generally  done),  three  hundred  and  nineteen  gave  the  preference  to  natives,  thirty- 
three  to  the  foreign  born,  and  thirty-two  thought  there  was  no  difference.  The  testimony 
respecting  the  accuracy  of  the  enumeration  (question  five)  was  universal  in  its  favor. 
There  was  an  occasional  reference  to  some  migratory  family,  whos.e  wanderings  had 
defeated  the  endeavors  of  the  enumerator,  but  these  cases  were  apparently  very  few. 

Mr.  Charles  F.  Pidgin,  who  has  adapted  to  various  wants  the  system  of  tabulation 
used,  has  furnished  the  material  from  which  is  drawn  a full  description  of  the  methods 
employed. 

The  manner  of  tabulation  made  use  of,  will  be  easily  understood  by  reference  to  a 
sample  form  given  on  page  165.  The  original  sheets  were  printed  in  colors,  as  being  easier 
for  the  eye  to  dwell  upon,  than  a page  wholly  in  black;  but  in  this  reproduction  the  colors 
are  not  deemed  essential. 

The  form  given  represents  one-half  of  the  tabulating  sheet  used  in  counting  families, 
by  sizes  from  one  to  the  largest,  and  total  population.  By  examining  the  Family  Schedide 
on  page  137,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  tabulating  clerk,  at  a glance,  could  see  the  number  of 
columns  filled  thereon,  they  being  numbered  in  order.  Suppose  the  first  schedule  taken  up 
had  nine  columns  filled:  the  clerk  drew  a straight  mark  or  check  through  the  first  dot,  at 
the  left,  on  the  line  numbered  nine.  If  the  next  schedule  contained  but  three  names,  a 
check  was  drawn  through  the  first  dot  on  line  three.  If  the  next  schedule  contained  nine 
names,  the  second  dot  on  line  nine  was  checked,  and  so  on.  More  space  was  given  for  lines 
one  to  seven  inclusive,  than  to  others,  as  the  family  size  generally  comes  within  those  limits. 
It  will  be  seen  that  each  check  represented  a schedule,  and  each  schedule  represented  a 
family.  The  number  of  families  of  each  size  was  ascertained  by  carrying  out  the  aggre- 

d 


XIV. 


gates  of  each  line  of  checked  dots,  into  the  first  column  at  the  right,  headed  "Number  of 
families."  Multiplying  these  aggregates,  for  each  size,  by  the  number  denoting  the  size 
(repeated  at  the  right  for  convenience),  gave  the  number  of  persons.  The  footing  of  the 
columns  gave  the  total  number  of  families,  and  total  population.  It  must  be  remembered 
that  only  one-half  of  the  family  tabulation  sheet  is  reproduced  on  page  165.  The  other  half 
contained  spaces  for  entering  families  of  more  than  twelve  persons.  The  sexes  were 
tabulated  separately,  afterwards,  and  the  proof  of  correct  work,  was  the  exact  agreement 
between  the  results  of  the  population  and  sex  tabulations.  This  basis  once  secured,  suc- 
ceeding tabulations  Avere  known  to  be  faulty  if  they  did  not  agree  therewith,  and  were 
repeated  by  another  clerk  to  find  the  error.  The  same  system  of  dots  and  checks  was  used 
throughout  the  entire  tabulations  for  the  census  and  industrial  statistics.  The  arrangement 
of  each  sheet,  to  a certain  extent,  was  determined  by  the  nature  of  the  work  to  be  done. 
Accuracy  and  speed  were  both  aimed  at.  The  first  was  secured  by  systems  of  proving 
results.  The  second,  by  checking  for  as  many  points  as  possible  at  each  handling  of  the 
schedules.  A reference  to  the  Family  Schedule  on  page  137,  will  show  that  it  contained 
nineteen  inquiries:  in  addition,  were  the  number  of  families,  dwelling-houses,  and  volumes 
in  private  libraries.  Eight  distinct  tabulations  were  necessary  to  obtain  the  desired  results, 
which  are  thus  explained,  each  tabulation  covering  the  points  named,  at  one  handling  of 
the  schedule. 

I.  Tabulation  for  population,  sex,  number  of  families,  and  size  of  families.  The 
number  of  dwelling-houses,  occupied  and  unoccupied,  Avas  taken  from  the  enumerator’s 
books  ( vide  page  122),  Avhere  they  Avere  numbered  consecutively.  This  form  has  been 
sufficiently  explained.  The  most  dexterous  lady  clerks  checked  thirty  thousand  names,  on 
one  point,  in  six  hours  time. 

II.  For  ratable  polls,  legal  voters,  naturalized  voters,  and  aliens. 

III.  For  color  and  race  (white,  black,  mulatto,  Indian,  Chinese,  Japanese,  etc.),  and 
conjugal  condition  (single,  married,  widowed,  divorced,  and  unknown). 

IV.  For  ages.  Every  age,  from  one  month  to  the  oldest  given,  was  entered  by  its 
proper  month  or  year.  It  Avas  deemed  as  easy  to  record  a man’s  age  as  twenty-eight  years, 
as  to  enter  him  as  between  twenty-five  and  thirty.  The  name  and  birthplace  of  all  persons 
over  ninety-five  years  of  age,  Avere  entered  upon  a part  of  the  tabulating  sheet. 

Y.  For  illiteracy,  designating  those  who  could  not  read,  could  not  Avrite,  or  Avho  could 
neither  read  nor  Avrite,  specifying  sex,  age,  place  of  birth  and  nativity  of  parents.  At  the 
same  time  a tally  of  volumes  in  private  libraries  was  kept. 

YI.  For  diseased  conditions.  The  blind,  deaf,  dumb,  deaf  and  dumb,  insane  and 
idiotic,  with  regard  to  sex,  age,  and  degree  of  infirmity.  The  paupers  and  convicts  were 
enumerated  on  the  same  sheet,  Avith  reference  to  sex  and  age.  A registry  of  all  schedules 
containing  entries  of  diseased  conditions,  pauperism,  or  crime,  Avas  made  at  the  same  time. 

YII.  For  occupation,  trade  or  profession  of  every  person,  with  regard  to  sex  and 
age.  The  minutest  sub-divisions  were  taken  account  of  in  the  classification.  By  consider- 
ing school  attendance  as  an  occupation,  this  point  was  obtained,  at  the  same  time,  and  an 


XVI 1. 


be  brought  under  their  observation,  and  was  for  the  purpose  of  noting,  first,  all  omissions 
of  replies  to  any  inquiries ; second,  all  inconsistencies  in  replies  that  were  given.  Every 
omission  was  of  course  apparent.  These  could  sometimes  be  supplied,  at  once,  by  the 
examiner,  although  the  highest  degree  of  caution  needed  to  be  exercised  in  this  matter. 
For  instance,  if  we  have  a Family  Schedule  before  us,  on  which  George  Jones  is  set  down 
as  a carpenter,  and  a legal  voter,  there  is  no  doubt  but  Jones  is  a male,  although  the  sex 
space  is  unfilled.  So  in  regard  to  the  Manufactures,  the  Occupation,  the  Products  and 
Property,  and  all  the  schedules  used,  in  short,  there  are  omissions  that  can  be  supplied 
without  a possibility  of  error.  In  the  case  of  omissions  that  can  not  thus  be  supplied, 
the  schedule  affords  the  name  and  address  of  the  person  from  whom  it  was  received,  and 
of  the  enumerator  transmitting  it  to  the  office,  and  a postal  card,  or  a letter  has  rarely  failed 
to  secure  the  desired  information.  Now,  in  regard  to  those  who  failed  to  answer  any 
inquiries,  in  other  words,  who  refused  utterly  to  fill  out  a schedule  : the  names  and  post 
office  addresses  of  all  such  persons,  engaged  in  manufacturing  or  farming,  came  into  the 
the  office  in  response  to  question  six  on  the  last  circular  sent  to  enumerators  (page  103),  as 
well  as  on  the  penalty  notices  (page  136)  transmitted  by  enumerators,  and,  as  stated  before, 
by  means  of  correspondence,  properly  filled  schedules  have  been  secured  from  nearly 
all,  and  probably  will  be  from  every  one.  Persons  refusing  to  fill  the  Family,  Individual, 
or  Special  Schedules,  were  reported  to  the  office  on  the  penalty  notice,  and  the  matter  was 
immediately  attended  to.  Thus  it  can  be  seen  that  the  department  can  guarantee  to  the 
people,  that  it  has  a return  of  all  the  industries  of  the  Commonwealth. 

In  regard  to  the  truthfulness  of  these  returns,  it  may  be  stated  that,  the  questions  are 
so  many  in  number,  so  various  in  the  matters  inquired  about,  and  hinge  upon  each  other  in 
such  unseen  ways,  that  a careless  slip  of  the  pen,  or  a purposely  untruthful  statement  is 
recognized  at  once. 

In  closing  this  brief  outline  of  the  Massachusetts  census  system  of  1875,  a few  facts 
may  be  summarized,  that  will  prove  of  use  in  the  future.  The  whole  number  of  enumera- 
tors employed  was  529.  The  aggregate  of  days  worked  by  them  was  26,979.  The  average 
number  of  days  worked  by  each  was  fifty-one.  The  whole  number  of  schedules,  of  all 
kinds,  returned  into  the  office  by  them  was  506,702.  The  average  number  of  schedules 
collected  by  each  Avas  nine  hundred  and  fifty-seven  and  eighty-five  hundredths.  The 
average  number,  per  day,  collected  by  each  Avas  eighteen  and  seventy-eight  hundredths. 
The  number  of  schedules  of  each  kind,  returned  to  the  office,  and  accepted  as  properly 
filled,  was  as  folloAvs : the  Family,  359,000;  the  Individual,  80,893;  the  Manufactures, 
10,730;  the  Occupation,  11,641;  the  Products  and  Property,  42,207;  the  Special,  2,231. 
The  number  of  penalty  notices  (vide  page  136)  served  on  persons  refusing  to  fill  schedules, 
Avas  about  one  hundred.  There  Avere  no  prosecutions  under  section  6 of  the  Act,  as 
correspondence  between  the  officers  of  the  Bureau  and  the  persons  refusing  to  answer, 
obviated  all  necessity  for  it.  At  the  present  writing,  there  arc  less  than  twenty  manu- 
facturers Avho  have  failed  to  comply  with  the  Iuav,  while  the  number  of  farmers  declining 
to  make  returns  is  so  insignificant,  as  to  make  no  perceptible  difference  in  the  aggregate.

The  expense  of  the  enumeration  Avas  as  follows:  paid  to  enumerators,  $81,497.70;  to 
supervisors,  $2,808.76;  for  printing  blanks,  schedules,  etc.,  $11,053.62:  total,  $95,360.08. 
The  persons  referred  to  as  supervisors  were  employed  to  travel  among  enumerators,  instruct 
them  personally,  and  overlook  their  work.  They  were  six  in  number.  This,  it  must  be 
understood,  Avas  the  expense  incurred  in  gathering  the  statistics.  The  expense  of  examin- 
ing and  tabulating,  Avas  $38,342.34  paid  for  clerical  services,  and  $2,897.58  for  rent, 
stationery,  messenger,  etc.,  and  $900.00  for  expressage  and  postage,  making  $42,139.92  as 
the  cost  of  preparing  the  returns  for  the  printer.  The  total  expense  is  thus  seen  to  be 
about  $137,500,  and  there  Avas  an  aggregate  of  about  thirteen  millions  of  answers. 

The  work  of  tabulating  the  returns  consumed  about  ten  months.  The  clerical  force 
employed  Avas  of  men  and  women,  and  Avas  equivalent  to  tAvo  hundred  and  sixty-seven  of 
the  former  and  three  hundred  and  twelve  of  the  latter  Avorking  together  for  one  month, 
or  about  the  same  as  the  combined  labor  of  twenty-seven  men  and  thirty-one  women  for  ten 
months.  The  largest  number  employed  at  oue  time  was  sixty-eight. 

It  Avill  be  seen  that  a distinct  feature  of  the  system  adopted,  has  been  the  complete 
separation  of  the  work  of  collecting  facts,  from  that  of  combining  and  arranging  them. 
Each  schedule  contains  upon  it  the  isolated  facts  respecting  one  family  or  industry.  The 
duty  of  the  enumerator  began  and  ended  in  securing  this  result.  The  Avork  of  tabulating 
and  aggregating  Avas  entirely  performed  in  the  central  office,  under  the  direct  and  constant 
supervision  of  the  officers  of  the  Bureau,  and  their  assistants.  By  this  division  of  labor, 
the  highest  degree  of  efficiency  and  accuracy  Avas  secured.  Under  the  plan  followed  in 
many  states  and  countries,  much  of  the  labor  of  aggregating  is  performed  by  those 
employed  as  census  takers,  each  of  whom  makes  return  only  of  the  total  for  his  district, 
respecting  each  inquiry.  This  has  been  the  case,  hitherto,  in  this  State.  By  this  latter 
plan,  the  clerical  force  employed  would  not  be  required  for  as  long  a time,  nor  need  it  be  as 
large;  however,  the  time  consumed  by  enumerators,  would  be  extended,  and  the  likelihood 
of  as  valuable  results  being  secured,  would  be  much  diminished. 

The  results  of  the  present  Census  and  Industrial  Statistics  are  embodied  in  four  vol- 
umes: the  first  is  the  Seventh  Annual  Report  of  the  Bureau,  in  which  is  exhibited  the 
condition  of  the  working  population  of  the  State,  as  derived  from  the  tabulation  of 
the  Individual  Schedules  ( vide  pages  141  and  142)  ; the  second  embraces  the  facts  respect- 
ing population,  schools,  and  libraries;  the  third,  manufactures;  and  the  fourth,  agriculture. 
The  series  aggregate  about  one  thousand  eight  hundred  pages. 

The  foregoing  account  of  the  system  adopted  in  performing  this  Avork,  and  of  the 
results  accomplished  under  it,  has  been  prepared  in  the  belief  that  it  would  be  of  material 
use  to  those  Avho,  in  the  future,  have  work  of  a like  character  entrusted  to  them,  and  to 
those  Avho  shall  be  called  upon,  as  legislators,  to  prescribe  the  laAvs  for  their  guidance. 
The  system  is  founded  on  the  plan  followed  in  England,  of  collecting  returns  of  population, 
by  means  of  what  is  known  as  the  "prior  family  schedule.”  It  has  been  extended,  in 
the  present  work  in  this  State,  to  the  gathering  of  statistics  of  all  kinds.  Experience 
indicates  that  a greater  elaboration  of  it,  — perhaps  to  the  extent  of  providing  a distinct 
schedule  for  every  great  industry,  — would  be  advantageous. 


XIX. 


To  those  who  are  unfamiliar  with  the  official  machinery  of  the  State  of  Massachusetts, 
a few  words  of  explanation  may  be  necessary;  otherwise  it  may  appear  that  the  collection 
of  facts  in  some  of  the  most  important  departments  of  science,  educational,  social,  or 
political,  is  unprovided  for.  There  are  various  points  upon  which  the  State  does  not, 
through  its  census,  seek  information,  for  the  reason  that  her  general  system  of  statistics 
supplies  much  matter  that  other  states  obtain  only  through  the  census  takers.  Under  the 
direction  of  the  Secretary  of  State,  there  is  published  annually,  a Registration  Report, 
giving  the  most  vital  points  respecting  births,  deaths,  and  marriages,  and  a Report  of  the 
aggregates  of  polls,  property,  and  taxes.  Under  the  direction  of  the  State  Treasurer,  there 
is  issued  every  year  by  the  Tax  Commissioner,  a Report  embodying  all  important  facts 
respecting  corporations.  Yearly  Reports  upon  the  matters  under  their  charge,  are  made  by 
the  Railroad  Commissioners,  Insurance  Commissioner,  the  Board  of  Education,  Board 
of  Health,  Board  of  Agriculture,  Board  of  State  Charities,  the  Bureau  of  Labor  Statistics, 
and  various  other  departments.  Through  these  avenues,  there  is  annually  presented  a mass 
of  information,  the  importance  of  which  can  not  be  estimated  by  ordinary  standards;  and 
the  Reports  of  these  various  departments,  with  the  Decennial  Census  and  Industrial 
Statistics,  really  make  up  the  Statistics  of  Massachusetts,  and  they  illustrate  a system 
which  is  not  surpassed  in  its  thoroughness  and  minuteness,  certainly,  in  this  country.

[Chap.  37.] 

Resolved , That  there  be  allowed  and  paid  out  of  the  treasury  of  the  Commonwealth  to  each  assessor,  or 
other  person  as  hereinafter  provided,  employed  by  the  bureau  of  statistics  of  labor  in  the  several  cities  and 
towns,  in  taking  the  decennial  census  and' the  industrial  statistics  of  the  Commonwealth,  under  the  authority  of 
chapter  three  hundred  and  eighty-six  of  the  acts  of  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  seventy-four,  the  sum  of 
three  dollars  for  each  day  of  ten  hours  actually  employed  in  said  service. 

In  case  the  bureau  of  statistics  of  labor  deem  it  expedient  to  appoint,  in  any  city  or  town,  some  other 
person  than  an  assessor,  it  may  do  so : provided , such  other  person  is  an  inhabitant  of  the  city  or  town  in 
which  he  is  to  perform  the  duty,  and  that  the  appointment  shall  be  approved  by  the  mayor  and  aldermen  of 
the  city  or  the  selectmen  of  the  town. 

The  number  of  persons  to  be  appointed  in  each  city  and  town,  and  to  be  paid  from  the  state  treasury 
at  the  rate  aforesaid,  shall  not  exceed  one  for  every  fifteen  hundred  polls  therein,  according  to  the  enumeration

THE  CIRCULAR  LETTERS  AND  BLANKS  USED  IN  GATHERING  THE 
CENSUS  AND  INDUSTRIAL  STATISTICS. 


IN  THE  ORDER  OF1  ISSUE. 


[Note.  — The  preceding  pages  cover  the  work  done  before  the  gathering  of  statistics  was  actually  begun.  Those  which 
follow  illustrate  the  progress  and  accomplishment  of  the  actual  work  of  taking  the  Census  and  Industrial  Statistics.  The  reader 
is  referred  to  the  introductory  pages  of  this  volume  for  a more  extended  explanation  of  these  circulars  and  blanks.] 


[Letter  to  Selectmen  asking  for  recommendation  of  suitable  persons  for  Enumerators.] 


On  the  next  page,*  you  will  find  the  law  regulating  the  appointment  of  Enumerators 
for  the  taking  of  the  Decennial  Census  and  Industrial  Statistics  of  the  Commonwealth.  You  are 
desired  to  recommend  one  man  for  each  1,500  polls  in  your  town,  and  forward  the  names  of  such 
parties  to  this  Bureau,  on  or  before  the  24th  of  this  month.  The  selection  of  Enumerators  is  of  the 
utmost  importance,  as  upon  them,  to  a great  extent,  depends  the  accuracy  and  value  of  the  Census. 
Thej-  should  be,  and  must  be,  men  of  intelligence,  easy  and  polite  in  their  intercourse  with  the  people. 

We  trust  especial  attention  will  be  given  to  the  character  and  qualifications  of  each  person  before 
a recommendation  is  made.  Assessors  should  not  be  selected,  as  a rule,  unless  thejr  can  and  will 
attend  to  the  Census  independentl}'  of  their  duties  as  assessors.  No  person  will  be  allowed  to  act  as 
assessor  and  Enumerator  at  the  same  time. 

Please  return  list  of  nominations,  on  the  form  to  be  found  on  the  third  page  of  this  sheet,  by 
the  time  specified. 


Respectfully, 


April  17,  1875.

TO  THE  ENUMERATOR 


The  following  instructions  have  been  carefully 
prepared  for  your  guidance  in  taking  the  Census 
and  gathering  the  Industrial  Statistics.  They  are 
not  presented  as  being  infallible,  and  it  is  not  sup- 
posed that  in  every  case  of  doubt  they  will  supply 
a ready  solution  of  the  difficulty.  To  have  done 
this  would  have  necessitated  instructions  so  minute, 
and  necessarily  complicated,  that  their  use  might 
have  been  more  of  a hindrance  than  a help.  It  is 
believed  however,  that  in  a majority  of  the  cases 
of  perplexity  which  you  will  meet  in  your  labors, 
their  perusal  will  indicate  the  proper  course  of 
procedure.  In  case  they  fail  to  furnish  you  with 
desired  information,  your  duty,  as  elsewhere  instruc- 
ted, will  be  to  write  to  this  office  without  delay, 
stating  the  case  plainly,  and  the  decision  of  this 
office  will  be  sent  you  promptly. 


OUTLINE  OF  YOUR  WORK. 

You  will  receive  with  this  book  of  instructions  a 
sufficient  number  of  blanks  of  two  kinds,  designated 
as  the  “ Family  Schedule ” and  the  “ Individual 
Schedule."  In  due  season  you  will  receive  others 
relating  to  Manufactures,  to  Products,  to  Property, 
etc.,  but  the  Instructions  in  this  book  relate  only  to 
the  two  above  mentioned. 

At  the  outset  of  your  work,  we  wish  to  impress 
upon  you  one  important  fact  which  is  to  be  kept 
always  in  mind:  viz.,  that  all  blanks  or  Schedules, 
as  we  designate  them,  now  issued,  or  to  be  issued, 
are  to  be  distributed  by  you,  to  be  filled  up  by  the 
persons  who  receive  them,  and  afterwards  collected 
by  you.  You  must  not  reverse  or  alter  this  process  : 


in  other  words,  you  must  not  go  about  making  the 
inquiries  of  people  and  filling  up  the  blanks  your- 
self ; except,  that,  in  collecting,  you  are  required  to 
correct  those  that  are  erroneous,  and  complete  those 
that  are  incomplete  (as  you  will  find  explained  fur- 
ther along),  and  perhaps  at  that  time,  in  a limited 
number  of  cases,  such  as  those  where  the  parties 
have  been  extremely  neglectful,  or  where  they  lack 
or  fancy  they  lack  the  necessary  amount  of  literary 
ability,  you  can  put  the  questions  to  them  and  write 
in  the  answers  yourself. 

Let  it  be  supposed  now  that  you  are  ready  to 
begin  your  first  day’s  work, — that  you  have  read 
all  the  Instructions  in  this  book,  those  on  the  Indi- 
vidual Schedule  and  those  on  the  separate  sheet, 
applying  to  the  Family  Schedule, — let  itbe  supposed 
also,  that  you  have  studied  all  these  in  connection 
with  the  two  Schedules  and  the  blank  forms  in  this 
book,  where  is  to  be  kept  the  record  of  your  pro- 
gress,— that  you  have  studied  the  Schedules  and 
know  what  everything  means, — let  it  be  supposed 
that  all  this  has  been  done,  and  you  are  ready  to 
start  out  on  your  first  day’s  work.  You  know 
already  the  boundaries  of  your  district,  so  that  you 
will  not  tresspass  upon  another  Enumerator.  Decide 
on  which  side  of  it  you  will  begin,  provide  yourself 
with  a sufficient  number  of  the  Family  Schedules 
and  Instruction  Sheets,  and  of  the  Individual  Sched- 
ules for  a day’s  work  at  distributing. 

Arrived  at  the  spot  and  house  of  commencement, 
you  announce,  to  whoever  appears  in  response  to 
your  call,  that  you  are  the  Census  Enumerator  for 
that  district ; immediately  produce  this  book  from  a 
convenient  pocket ; ojien  it  at  the  first  page  of  forms, 
and  in  the  column  headed  “ Dwelling-house  Number 
in  order  of  Visitation,  ” on  the  first  line,  write  the 


120 


r The  Enumerator's  Book  of  Instructions  and  Record  of  Work  for  Family  and  Individual  Schedules.  — Page  2.] 


Enumerator's  Instructions. 


numeral  1 ; and  in  the  second  column  headed  “Fam- 
ily Number  in  order  of  Visitation, ” on  the  same  line, 
the  numeral  1.  You  should  then  inquire  the  name 
of  the  Head  of  the  Family,  and  write  it  on  the  same 
line  in  the  next  column. 

You  should  now  produce  a Family  Schedule 
blank  from  your  travelling  bag,  or  whatever  con- 
tains them.  You  will  observe  that  the  spaces  “A” 
and  “B”  on  the  file  part  contain  repetitions  of  the 
headings  just  mentioned  as  pertaining  to  the  first 
and  second  columns  of  your  book.  Enter  the  cor- 
responding numbers  in  the  spaces  opposite  them. 

Now  ask  for  the  number  of  families  in  the  house, 
and  enter  the  answer  in  the  space  opposite  “C”  on 
the  Family  Schedule.  Now  ask  “How  many  fami- 
lies pay  rent  for  the  part  occupied  by  them,”  and 
enter  the  answer  in  the  space  opposite  “D”  on  the 
Family  Schedule.  No  entries  are  to  be  made  in 
your  Enumerator’s  Book  in  respect  to  these  two 
questions. 

Now  ask  for  the  number  of  persons  in  the  family 
(this  one  family,  with  a member  of  which  you  are 
talking),  male  or  female,  old  or  young,  who  work 
for  wages  or  salary.  Produce  now,  the  number  of 
Individual  Schedules,  indicated  by  the  answer,  for 
each  wage  and  salaried  worker  must  have  one,  and 
enter  on  the  first  one,  in  the  space  opposite  “A” 
the  numeral  1 ; on  the  second  if  two  were  called 
for,  in  the  same  space,  the  numeral  2 ; on  the  third, 
if  a third  was  demanded,  the  numeral  3,  and  so  on, 
Now  enter  these  same  numbers  in  your  Book  in 
the  column  next  the  last,  headed,  “Individual  Num- 
bers entered  in  space  ‘*y  on  the  Individual  Schedule 
left  ■ with  each  family .” 

Your  Enumerator’s  Book  can  now  be  closed  and 
returned  to  your  pocket. 

Now  make  the  remaining  entries  as  to  the  date, 
name  and  residence,  on  the  Family  Schedule  and 
on  the  Individual  Schedule.  Leave  the  spaces 
opposite  “B”  and  “C”  on  the  Individual  Schedule, 
and  the  lines  below  Question  1 relating  to  Occupa- 
tion unfilled.  The  Individual  will  attend  to  them. 
They  are  placed  where  they  are  for  a certain  con- 
venience of  our  own.  Now  deliver  the  Family 
Schcdide  you  have  prepared  and  the  Family  Instruc- 
tion Sheet  with  it,  and  whatever  Individual  Schedules 
there  may  be,  and  your  work  of  delivery  with  this 
family  is  done.  Others  will  be  but  a repetition  of 
it.  It  may  be  mentioned  here  that  the  first  thing 
for  you  to  do  in  the  morning  when  beginning 


work,  is  to  write  the  name  of  the  street  or  road,  and 
the  date  at  the  top  of  the  page,  in  your  Enumerator’s 
Book. 

In  collecting  or  taking  up  the  Schedules  you  will 
fill  the  last  column  in  your  book  with  the  dates. 

Examine  the  Schedules  to  see  if  properly  filled 
out  according  to  the  explicit  instructions  which  are 
found  in  detailed  instructions  12,  13  and  14,  etc. 


INSTRUCTIONS  IN  DETAIL. 

1.  Dealings  ivith  the  People.  • — In  your  dealings 
with  the  people  you  should  always  preserve  a con- 
ciliatory manner,  and  you  should  impress  upon 
those  who  raise  any  objection  to  answering  the 
inquiries,  the  fact  of  the  confidential  nature  of  the 
returns,  and  that  no  one  but  yourself  will  see  them 
before  they  are  sent  to  this  office. 

2.  Confidential  Nature  of  Rehirns.  — You  are  ex- 
pected to  treat  completed  schedules  as  strictly  con- 
fidential, and  Enumerators  who  show  them  to  outside 
parties,  or  divulge  the  information  they  contain, 
will  be  considered  as  flagrantly  derelict  in  duty,  and 
their  appointments  will  lie  immediately  revoked 
when  the  fact  is  known.  If  you  are  suspicious  that 
wrong  replies  have  been  given,  you  can  ascertain 
the  truth  by  proper  inquiries  outside,  instead  of 
making  the  completed  schedule  an  object  of  public 
examination  and  comment. 

3.  Nature  of  Work. — You  begin  your  work  with 
two  schedules:  Form  5,  the  Family  Schedule  ("and 
its  sheet  of  Instructions),  and  Form  6,fthe  Individual 
Schedule.  Form  5 covers  the  inquiries  in  the  Cen- 
sus proper.  Form  6 contains  questions  belonging 
to  the  Industrial  Statistics,  to  complete  which,  how- 
ever, several  additional  forms  suitedto  Manufactures, 
Occupations,  Products,  Productive  Property,  etc., 
will  be  sent  you  when  your  present  work  is  well 
under  way.  Carry  as  little  completed  work  as 
possible,  and  do  not  encumber  yourself  with  an 
unnecessary  quantity  of  blank  schedules. 

4.  The  Schedules,  etc.  sent  you. — Together  with 
this  book  and  a time  account,  is  sent  what  is  deemed 
a sufficient  quantity  of  schedules  for  use  in  your 
district.  You  are  requested  to  be  economical  in 
their  use,  but  if  you  think  you  are  in  danger  of 


121 


[The  Enumerator's  Book  of  Instructions  and  Record  of  Work  for  Family  and  Individual  Schedules.  — Page  3.] 


Enumerator  i 

running  short  of  either  hind,  your  order  for  what 
extra  number  you  think  you  may  want  will  be 
promptly  filled  by  this  office.  On  the  other  hand, 
if  you  have  some  blank  schedules  left  after  your 
work  is  completed,  return  them  to  us  with  the  com- 
pleted ones. 

5.  Outfit. — You  are  expected  to  supply  yourself 
with  a proper  protection  for  your  schedules  while 
at  work,  so  they  can  be  kept  clean  and  smooth,  and 
be  in  good  order  when  returned  to  us.  You  are 
desired  to  use  black  ink  (a  portable  ink-horn  is 
necessary  in  case  you  do)  for  your  writing ; if  a 
pencil  is  used,  the  writing  must  be  legible,  and  the 
marks  made  firmly.  Illegible  and  faintly  written 
returns  will,  necessarily,  be  returned  for  revision 
before  your  account  can  be  approved. 

(>.  Delivery  and  Collection  of  Schedules. — He  sure 
that  every  separate  family  has  a separate  F amily 
Schedule  and  a copy  of  the  Family  Instruction 
Sheet,  and  when  you  leave  the  former,  state  the  day 
when  you  will  call  for  it.  This  day  will  depend 
upon  your  progress,  and  each  Enumerator  must  set- 
tle the  matter  for  himself,  always  however,  allowing 
a family  at  least  twenty-four  hours  in  which  to  write 
in  replies.  The  Instruction  Sheets  used  need  not 
be  taken  back  from  the  families.  Where  a family 
has  more  than  twelve  members,  leave  as  many 
schedules  as  will  supply  the  needed  number  of 
columns.  In  leaving  Individual  Schedules,  be  gov- 
erned strictly  by  the  General  Nptice  printed  on  that 
schedule  (Form  6).  When  collecting  Family 
Schedules,  note  particularly  if  every  person  re- 
turned on  them  as  being  a wage  or  salaried  worker 
has  also  returned  an  Individual  Schedule ; if  not, 
leave  one  and  see  that  it  is  properly  filled. 

7.  Personal  Service. — You  are  expected  to  de- 
liver and  collect  schedules,  and  do  the  whole  work 
yourself. 

8.  Particular  Inquiries. — If  the  space  opposite 
Inquiry  14  on  the  Family  Schedule  is  not  sufficient 
to  give  all  the  facts,  use  a whole  column,  or  more, 
for  the  purpose,  if  there  is  one  unfilled,  writing 
crosswise  over  the  ruled  lines,  and  adding  a refer- 
ence-mark to  show  to  which  person  it  applies.  In 
some  cases  it  may  be  necessary  to  write  on  a 
separate  sheet,  which  should  be  fastened  securely 


t Instructions. 

i to  the  schedule,  and  a proper  reference-mark  made. 
For  the  purposes  of  science,  it  is  desirable  that  very 
full  information  should  be  obtained  in  regard  to  this 
inquiry  (14),  and  also  inquiries  11,  12  and  13,  on 
the  Family  Schedule.  In  respect  to  the  diseased 
conditions  enumerated  in  inquiry  11,  you  are 
desired  to  ask  (in  those  cases  where  any  of  these 
conditions  are  reported)  what  degree  of  blood  rela- 
tionship (if  any)  exists  between  the  parents. 

1).  Manufacturiny  in  Houses. — While  delivering 
and  collecting  the  Family  and  Individual  Schedules, 
note  particularly  the  use  of  dwelling-houses  for 
manufacturing  purposes,  and  such  manufacturing 
as  may  be  carried  on  in  out-of-the-way  places,  so 
that  when  the  other  Industrial  Statistics  Schedules 
are  left,  no  manufactory,  however  small,  will  be 
passed  over.  If  necessary  you  should  assist  your 
memory  by  the  use  of  a memorandum  book,  enter- 
ing therein  the  location  of  such  places  as  might  be 
overlooked. 

10.  Refusals  to  Answer.  — If  the  head  of  a family 
neglects  to  fill  a schedule,  you  must  write  down  the 
replies,  making  the  inquiries  verbally.  If  a person 
refuses  to  answer,  call  attention  to  the  penalty  to 
which  he  (or  she)  is  liable.  If  the  person  persists 
in  the  refusal,  use  no  threats,  but  simply  mention 
that,  in  obedience  to  instructions,  you  must  report 
the  delinquency  to  this  office.  For  this  purpose, 
use  the  “Penalty  Notice,”  of  which  a number  of 
copies  will  be  found  with  this  book. 

1 1.  Penalty  for  Neglect  or  Refusal. — Chap.  386, 
Acts  and  Resolves  of  1874,  sec.  0,  provides  that,  “if 
any  party  authorized  by  said  bureau  [of  statistics 
of  labor]  to  collect  statistics  under  this  act  shall 
wilfully  neglect  to  make  true  returns  of  his  doings, 
as  may  be  called  for,  lie  shall  forfeit  and  pay  a fine 
not  exceeding  Two  Hundred  Dollars ; and  if  any 

i person  shall  refuse  to  give  information  required  by 
this  act,  to  a person  duly  authorized  to  receive  the 
same,  he  shall  forfeit  and  pay  a fine  not  exceeding 
One  Hundred  Dollars." 

1 2.  Signing  of  Schedules. — A schedule  must  not 
be  considered  complete  until  properly  signed.  Any 
responsible  member  of  the  family  may  sign  for  the 
head  of  the  family;  thus,  “John  Smith,  by  Ellen 
Smith,  his  wife.”  When  persons  can  not  write,  you

Enumerator' s 

his 

may  sign  thus : John  X Smith,  by 

mark 

Enumerator;  but  in  no  case,  than  of  such  inability, 
should  you  sign. 

13.  Verifying  Returns.  — When  you  begin  to 
collect  the  schedules,  you  should  inspect  each  one, 
to  see  if  it  is  plainly  and  legibly  written.  Then 
examine  it  to  see  if  the  inquiries  seem  correctly 
answered,  correcting,  after  verbal  inquiry,  such  as 
are  plainly  erroneous,  or  are  not  written  out  with 
due  regard  to  the  Family  Instructions.  Then  exam- 
ine the  blank  spaces  in  such  columns  as  have  been 
used,  to  see  if  questions  which  appear  applicable 
remain  unanswered.  In  all  such  cases  make  verbal 
inquiries,  and  enter  the  replies  yourself.  Where 
parties  are  unable  to  write,  or  from  any  cause  fail 
to  fill  the  schedules,  it  will  be  your  duty  to  make 
verbally  the  necessary  inquiries  of  some  responsible 
member  of  the  family,  and  write  the  answers  your- 
self. In  all  open  spaces  left  in  the  used  columns, 
after  a strict  carrying  out  of  the  preceding  instruc- 
tions for  verifying  returns,  make  an  “X”  mark 
(X).  The  object  of  this  mark  is  to  show  that  you 


Instructions. 

hare  decided  that  the  inquiries  are  not  applicable; 
and  seeing  it  (the  X mark)  in  the  blank  spaces, 
when  tabulating,  we  shall  know  that  these  spaces 
have  been  considered  by  you,  and  that  they  are  not 
left  blank  from  uncertainty  as  to  whether  they  could 
be  tilled  or  not,  or  from  an  omissson  to  write  in 
what  was  obtained  as  answer.  Any  other  mark 
than  the  X will  not  do,  and  Enumerators  are  par- 
ticularly enjoined  to  bear  this  in  mind. 

14.  Time  and  Manner  of  Folding  Schedules. — 
The  schedules  must  not  be  folded  when  delivered, 
but  the  folding  should  be  done  when  they  arc  col- 
lected, and  will  indicate  those  completed.  Form  5 
should  be  folded  so  that  the  file  part  will  be  fully 
in  sight.  To  do  this,  double  them  exactly  in  the 
middle,  and  then  bend  on  the  double  line  between 
column  12,  and  the  file  part.  This  will  allow  the 
two  cut  edges  to  project  beyond  the  doubled  one. 
Simply  double  Form  (5. 

15.  Distinguish  Boundaries.  — When  making  up 
your  bundle  of  completed  returns  to  send  to  this 
office,  take  particular  care  to  tie  the  returns  for  each

village  in  a town  in  a package  by  themselves  ; and 
in  the  case  of  cities,  keep  the  different  streets  in 
separate  packages.  If  your  delivery  is  regularly 
performed,  the  above  work  will  be  easy,  for  the 
dwelling-house  numbers  will  follow  each  other  in 
regular  order. 

16.  Disposition  of  Returns. — When  your  returns 
are  all  in,  properly  arranged,  and  agree  with  your 
“Enumerator's  Book,”  do  them  up  securely  (includ- 
ing in  the  package  the  completed  returns,  your 
Enumerator’s  Book,  and  such  blank  schedules  or 
forms  as  you  may  have  left),  and  send  them  to  us 
by  Express,  at  our  expense.  Do  not  fail  to  take  a 
receipt  from  the  Company,  for  you  will  be  held 
responsible  for  the  Schedules,  until  they  arc  i-eceived 
at  this  office. 

17.  How  to  enter  in  the  Enumerator's  Book. — 
The  foregoing  form  shows  how  to  begin  an  Enume- 
rator's Book.  The  dwelling-house  numbers  should 
begin  with  1,  and  continue  numerically  in  order, 
the  last  one  entered  indicating  the  whole  number  of 
dwelling-houses  in  your  district.  When  two  or 
more  families  occupy  the  same  dwelling-house,  the 
dwelling-house  number  should  not  be  repeated,  but 
a blank  space  left  beneath,  as  under  2 and  5 in  the 
dwelling-honse  column.  The  family  numbers 
should  begin  with  1,  and  continue  numerically  in 
order,  so  that  the  last  number  entered  will  indicate 
the  whole  number  of  families  in  your  district.  The 
entering  of  names  of  the  heads  of  families  in  the 
wide  column,  requires  no  explanation ; but  care 
should  be  taken  to  get  the  names  correctly,  as,  in 
case  of  failure  to  answer,  the  real  name  of  the  per- 
son is  necessary  in  instituting  a' prosecution.  The 
numbers  of  the  individual  schedules  left  come  in  the 
next  column.  They  should  begin  with  1,  and  con- 
tinue numerically  in  order,  the  last  number  entered 
indicating  the  whole  number  of  wage  and  salary 
workers  in  your  district  If  one  is  left,  put  down 
the  number;  as,  “4.”  If  two,  both  numbers,  with 
a comma  between ; as,  “5,  0.”  If  more  than  two, 
write  them  inclusive;  as,  “ l-;5,”  meaning  1 to  3, 
and  including  1,  2 and  .‘5.  When  a house  is  habit- 
able but  unoccupied,  give  it  a dwelling-house 
number,  write  “ unoccupied " in  the  column  indicated, 
and  put  the  X mark  in  the  other  columns.  The  way 
indicated  of  filling  the  last  column  (Date  of  Taking 
up  Schedule)  is  to  be  preferred,  as  there  will  then 


*•  Instructions. 

be  no  doubt  about  the  date.  When  you  finish  a 
street  (particularly  if  in  a city)  begin  the  entries 
for  the  next  street  at  the  top  of  the  next  page.  You 
must  use  especial  care  that  every  family  in  your 
district  receives  the  necessary  schedules,  and  to  do 
this  you  must  so  lay  out  your  routes,  that  in  no  way 
will  it  be  possible  for  you  to  miss  a part  of  any  street, 
lane,  alley,  court,  place  or  road.  Be  particularly 
careful  in  the  case  of  a large  block,  fronting  on 
several  streets.  If  you  come  to  an  occupied  house 
where  the  family  is  away  when  you  call,  or  if  in  a 
house  where  several  families  live,  and  one  of  them 
is  away,  make  no  entries  in  your  Enumerator’s  Book 
for  the  absent  families,  excepting  “Family  away,” 
in  the  “Name”  column.  When  you  return  and 
find  the  families  at  home  that  were  away,  then  make 
the  proper  entries;  and  if,  when  you  enter  them, 
your  number  just  preceding  was  for  a house  in 
another  street  than  the  one  in  which  they  live,  in  the 
margin  before  the  dwelling-house  number  write  the 
name  of  the  street  to  which  they  do  belong. 

18.  How  to  enter  on  the  Schedules.  — Every 
Family  Schedule  when  left  by  you  should  have 
spaces  A,  B,  C and  D filled  in,  and  also  the  form 
below  them,  showing  date,  name  and  residence. 
“ A”  and  “ B”  you  fill  by  copying  the  proper  num- 
ber from  your  Book  ; “ C ” and  “ D ” you  find  out  by 
inquiry,  and  enter.  The  date,  name  and  residence 
you  take  in  part  from  your  Book,  adding  street- 
number,  town-name,  etc.  from  your  own  knowledge. 
Upon  the  Individual  Schedule,  in  space  “A,”  you 
should  enter  the  number  taken  from  your  Book 
denoting  this  particular  schedule,  The  file  form  is 
filled  similarly  to  that  on  the  Family  Schedule. 

19.  Additional  Copies  of  the  Enumerator' s Book. 
— If  you  find  that  this  book  is  not  large  enough  to 
enable  you  to  enter  the  delivery  of  schedules  for 
every  family  in  your  district,  notify  us  in  time  so  we 
can  send  you  another  book  and  have  it  reach  you 
before  you  have  finished  this,  and  thus  avoid  unne- 
cessary delay.  The  blank  pages  at  the  back  of  this 
book  are  inserted  for  memorandum  purposes. 

20.  Family  Instruction  Sheet.  — Your  attention 
is  particularly  called  to  the  sheet  of  instructions 
which  should  be  left  with  every  Family  Schedule, 
and  to  all  instructions  which  you  may  find  printed 
upon  the  various  schedules  which  you  deliver. 


[The  Enumerator's  Book  of  Instructions  and  Record  of  Work  for  Family  and  Individual  Schedules.— Page  6.] 


Enumerator’s 

These  instructions  were  written  to  enable  heads  of 
families  and  others  to  properly  answer  the  inquiries 
upon  the  schedules  they  receive.  You  will  see  that 
they  are  of  as  much  and  even  greater  value  to  you 
than  to  the  individual.  When  you  till  your  own 
schedules,  the  need  and  value  of  the  instructions 
will  be  apparent,  and  you  should  study  them,  before 
you  begin  collecting,  until  you  thoroughly  under- 
stand their  application.  They  are  not  printed  in 
this  book,  because  their  repetition  was  deemed 
unnecessary. 

21.  Private  Libraries  owned  by  other  than  Salary 
or  Wage  Laborers.  — You  will  notice  that  Question 
20,  on  the  Individual  Schedule,  asks  for  “number  of 
volumes  in  your  private  library  if  the  number  is  100 
or  over.”  As  this  schedule,  hovever,  is  left  only 
with  salary  or  wage  laborers,  those  not  considered 
as  salary  or  wage  laborers,  it  will  be  seen,  have  no 
inquiry  of  this  kind  made  of  them  in  the  Family 
Schedule  which  they  do  receive.  Yet  it  is  desirable 
to  find  the  number  of  volumes  in  every  private 
library  in  the  State,  and  your  attention  is  called 


Instructions. 

particularly  to  the  following  SPECIAL  IN- 
STRUCTION: if  when  collecting  your  schedules 
you  come  to  a family  not  having  an  Individual 
Schedule,  and  consequently  not  having  received  an 
inquiry  relating  to  private  libraries,  you  must  ask 
the  question  [See  Question  20,  Individual  Schedule] 
of  a proper  member  of  the  family,  and  write  the 
reply  on  some  part  of  their  Family  Schedule,  in  this 
form,  — “ Private  Library,  050  volumes."  There 
will  always  be  a blank  space  left  in  some  column  on 
every  Family  Schedule  in  which  this  point  can  be 
entered.  It  will  be  best  to  draw  a pencil  line  around 
it,  to  separate  it  from  the  other  writing  on  the 
schedule.  This  manner  of  obtaining  the  point 
desired  is  adopted  to  avoid  the  delivery  and  col- 
lection of  100,000  Individual  Schedules,  upon  which 
this  question  only  would  be  answerable  by  persons 
not  salary  or  wage  laborers.  If  any  one  thinks 
the  inquiry  unauthorized,  because  it  does  not 
appear  on  the  Family  Schedule  left,  you  should 
refer  him  to  Chap.  386,  Acts  and  Resolves  of  1874, 
and  call  attention  to  this  instruction  as  forming  your 
authorization.

TO  THE  ENUMERATOR. 


The  following  instructions  have  been  carefully 
prepared  for  your  guidance  in  gathering  the  Indus- 
trial Statistics.  They  are  not  presented  as  being 
infallible,  and  it  is  not  supposed  that  in  every  case 
of  doubt  they  will  supply  a ready  solution  of  the 
difficulty.  To  have  done  this  would  have  necessi- 
tated instructions  so  minute,  and  necessarily  com- 
plicated, that  their  use  might  have  been  more  of 
a hindrance  than  a help.  It  is  believed,  however, 
that  in  the  majority  of  the  eases  of  perplexity  which 
you  will  meet  in  your  labors,  their  perusal  will 
indicate  the  proper  course  of  procedure.  In  case 
they  fail  to  furnish  you  with  desired  information, 
your  duty,  as  elsewhere  instructed,  will  be  to  write 
to  this  office  without  delay,  stating  the  case  plainly, 
and  the  decision  of  this  office  will  be  sent  you 
promptly. 


You  will  receive  with  this  book  of  instructions  a 
sufficient  number  of  blanks,  of  four  kinds,  desig- 
nated as  the  ‘■‘■Manufactures  Schedule ,”  the  ‘■‘■Occu- 
pation Schedule,"  the  ‘■‘■Products  and  Property 
Schedule,"  and  the  “ Special  Schedule.'''  You  will 
also  receive  a book  entitled  the  “ Industrial  Statis- 
tics Schedule,"  the  use  of  which  you  will  find 
explained  on  page  6 of  these  Instructions. 

At  the  outset  of  your  work,  we  wish  to  impress 
upon  you  one  important  fact  which  is  to  be  kept 
always  in  mind:  viz.,  that  all  blanks  or  Schedules, 
as  we  designate  them,  are  to  be  distributed  by  you, 
to  be  filled  up  by  the  persons  who  receive  them,  and 
afterwards  collected  by  you.  You  must  not  reverse 


or  alter  this  process  : in  other  words,  you  must  not 
go  about  making  the  inquiries  of  people  and  filling 
up  the  blanks  yourself;  except  that,  in  collecting, 
you  are  required  to  correct  those  that  are  erroneous, 
and  complete  those  that  are  incomplete  (as  you  will 
find  explained  further  along),  and  perhaps  at  that 
time,  in  a limited  number  of  cases,  such  as  those 
where  the  parties  have  been  extremely  neglectful, 
or  where  they  lack  or  fancy  they  lafck  the  necessary 
amount  of  literary  ability,  you  can  put  the  questions 
to  them  anti  write  in  the  answers  yourself. 

Your  first  business  is  to  read  all  these  Instructions 
carefully.  Read  with  equal  care  the  four  Sched- 
ules. Be  sure  that  you  understand  what  is  desired 
by  every  inquiry.  The  Instructions  on  each  Sched- 
ule and  the  matter  on  the  file  head  of  each  is  meant 
for  you  as  well  as  for  the  person  to  whom  you  deliver 
the  Schedule. 

In  beginning  your  work  you  should  provide 
yourself  with  a sufficient  number  of  each  Schedule 
for  a day’s  work  at  delivering.  You  should  not 
begin  at  random  anywhere  in  your  district  and  go 
through  it  in  a hap  hazard  way ; but,  after  getting 
its  boundaries  established  in  your  mind,  select  a 
well  considei’ed  point  on  the  boundary  line,  and 
work  through  the  district  systematically. 

Arrived  then  at  the  shop,  factory,  or  farm  where 
you  propose  to  begin,  you  announce  yourself  as  the 
Census  Enumerator  for  that  district;  immediately 
produce  this  book  from  a convenient  pocket ; open 
it  at  the  first  page  of  forms  and  in  the  blank  at  the 
top,  enter  the  name  of  the  street,  and,  after  the 
words  “Schedules  left,”  the  date.  Now  ask  for  the 
“ Name  of  the  1’erson  or  Firm  ” and  write  it  on  the 
first  line,  and  in  the  proper  column  (Manufac- 


128

Enumerator  s Instructions.  No.  2. 


tures,  Occupation,  Products  and  Property,  or 
Special  as  the  case  may  require)  write  the  numeral 
1 ; on  the  file  part  of  the  Schedule,  in  the  space  “A” 
(Number  in  order  of  Delivery),  write  the  numeral 

1.  In  the  space  opposite  “B”  (Left)  on  the  Sched- 
ule, write  the  date  of  leaving;  ydu  should  now 
deliver  the  Schedule.  The  first  Schedule  delivered 
of  each  of  the  four  kinds,  should  in  this  way  be 
entered  in  your  book  as  1 ; the  second  of  each  should 
be  entered  as  2 ; the  third  as  3,  and  so  on.  The 
same  number  entered  in  the  book  should  also  be 
entered  upon  the  Schedule.  So  that,  when  your 
work  is  completed,  the  last  number  entered  in  each 
column  of  your  book  will  be  the  total  of  the  column, 
and  your  book  will  show  at  a glance  the  number  of 
each  kind  of  Schedules  delivered  by  you. 

In  collecting  or  taking  up  a Schedule  you  should 
enter  the  date  in  the  last  column  of  your  book,  and 
the  same  date  in  space  “C”  (Taken  up)  on  the  file 
part  of  the  Schedule. 


INSTRUCTIONS  IN  DETAIL. 

1.  Dealings  with  the  People. — In  your  dealings 
with  the  people  you  should  always  preserve  a con- 
ciliatory manner,  and  you  should  impress  upon  those 
who  raise  any  objection  to  answering  the  inquiries, 
the  fact  of  the  confidential  nature  of  the  returns, 
and  that  no  one  but  yourself  will  see  them  before 
they  are  sent  to  this  office. 

2.  Confidential  Nature  of  Returns  — You  are  ex- 
pected to  treat  completed  schedules  as  strictly  confi- 
dential, and  Enumerators  who  show  them  to  outside 
parties,  or  divulge  the  information  they  contain,  will 
be  considered  as  flagrantly  derelict  in  duty,  and  their 
appointments  will  be  immediately  revoked  when  the 
fact  is  known. 

Some  persons  may  object  to  filling  a schedule,  on 
the  ground  that  the  inquiries  are  too  personal. 

Of  course  if  there  were  no  name  or  street  con- 
nected with  a Schedule,  it  could  never  be  made  to 
have  a personal  application.  Hence,  if  objection  is 
made  to  lilling  it,  it  will  be  because  the  person  is 
also  required  to  attach  his  name.  Now,  in  every 
case  of  objection  you  are  desired  and  specially  di- 
rected to  explain  that  the  only  use  for  the  name  is 
to  facilitate  the  work  and  insure  that  it  is  correctly 
done. 


For  instance,  every  return  when  it  comes  to  this 
office  will  be  examined  to  see  if  it  appears  to  be 
fully  and  correctly  filled  out.  , If  it  is  not,  it  will  be 
returned  to  the  Enumerator  and  he  will  have  to  go 
again  to  the  person  who  filled  it  out  and  have  it 
revised  or  completed.  To  prevent  our  being  ob- 
liged to  accept  such  partial  and  imperfect  returns, 
it  is  absolutely  essential  that  we  have  every  one’s 
name  on  the  Schedule.  So  also  it  is  necessary  to 
prevent  bogus  or  fraudulent  returns  being  imposed 
on  us.  You  are  specially  enjoined,  in  all  cases 
where  objection  is  made,  to  be  conciliatory.  Take 
out  your  book  and  allow  the  person  to  read  this 
Instruction.  State  positively  that  the  names  and 
residences  are  never  to  be  made  use  of  in  any  other 
way  than  is  here  explained.  If  you  preserve  a 
proper  bearing  and  make  the  proper  explanation, 
the  good  sense  of  every  one,  on  reflection,  will  lead 
them  to  fill  out  the  Schedule  as  desired. 

We,  in  this  office,  have  no  discretion  in  the  matter, 
but  are  compelled  by  law  to  ask  every  question 
which  appears  on  any  Schedule. 

% 

3.  The  Schedules,  etc.,  sent  you. — Together  with 
this  book,  is  sent  what  is  deemed  a sufficient  num- 
ber of  schedules  for  use  in  your  district.  You  are 
requested  to  be  economical  in  their  use,  but  if  you 
think  you  are  in  danger  of  running  short  of  either 
kind,  your  order  for  what  extra  number  you  may 
want  will  be  promptly  filled  by  this  office.  On  the 
other  hand,  if  you  have  some  blank  schedules  left 
after  your  work  is  completed,  return  them  to  us 
with  the  completed  ones. 

4.  Outfit. — You  are  expected  to  supply  yourself 
with  a proper  protection  for  your  schedules  while 
at  work,  so  they  can  be  kept  clean  and  smooth,  and 
be  in  good  order  when  returned  to  us.  You  are 
desired  to  use  black  ink  (a  portable  ink-horn  is 
necessary  in  case  you  do)  for  your  writing;  if  a 
pencil  is  used,  the  writing  must  be  legible,  and  the 
marks  made  firmly.  Illegible  and  faintly  written 
returns  will,  necessarily,  be  returned  for  revision 
before  your  account  can  be  approved. 

5.  Delivery  of  Schedules. — When  you  deliver  a 
Schedule  you  should  state  when  you  will  call  for  it, 
and  ask  that  it  may  be  filled  out  by  the  time  stated. 
You  will  find  it  advisable,  generally,  to  call  for  a 
Schedule  the  next  day,  or  second  day,  after  leaving

it.  If  you  do  not  call  for  a -week  or  so,  you  will 
find  but  few  more  of  them  filled  out,  and  many  lost 
or  mislaid. 

(I.  Personal  Service. — You  are  expected  to  de- 
liver and  collect  schedules,  and  do  the  whole  work 
yourself. 

7.  Manufacturing  Establishments.  — Manufactur- 
ing Establishments  should  always  be  returned  from 
the  district  in  which  they  are  found.  Sometimes 
the  Sales  Room,  Counting  Room,  or  Office  is  in 
another  Enumerator’s  district ; but  the  return 
should  in  all  cases  come  from  the  Enumerator  whose 
district  contains  the  Factory  or  Workshop,  whether 
the  owner  lives  in  such  district  or  not. 

8.  Manufacturing  in  Houses,  etc. — It  is  oftentimes 
the  case  that  manfacturing  is  carried  on  in  the  attics 
cellars,  or  back  rooms  of  houses,  and  in  barns  and 
sheds,  and  other  out-of-the-way  places  ; sometimes 
also,  in  retail  or  wholesale  stores.  A clothing 
dealer  often  has  a manufactory  connected  with  his 
store ; and  retail  Boot  and  Shoe  stores  often  com- 
bine with  their  selling  the  Occupation  of  Gobbling 
and  Making  to  Order.  You  are  desired  to  keep  a 
careful  lookout  and  discover  all  such. 

9.  Detached  Pieces  of  Land. — In  many  towns  and 
cities  there  are  pieces  of  land,  that  have  no  buildings 
upon  them,  and  consequently  no  one  living  upon 
them  to  make  return  of  the  crops  produced. 

This  will  especially  be  the  case  in  the  vicinity  of 
the  large  cities  and  towns  along  the  seaboard,  where 
merchants  and  capitalists  own  large  tracts  of  marsh, 
from  which  they  gather  annual  crops  of  hay.  In 
the  interior  of  the  State  there  are  tracts  of  woodland 
owned,  in  the  same  way,  by  parties  at  a distance, 
from  which  many  cords  of  wood  are  cut  each 
year. 

The  Enumerator  must  not  fail  to  get  returns  of 
the  products  of  all  such  detached  pieces  of  land  in 
his  district,  and  he  can  learn  their  location  by  a 
little  inquiry.  If  the  owner  or  lessee  lives  in  his 
district  he  must  supply  him  with  a “ Products  and 
Property  Schedule but  if  he  does  not  live  in  his 
district,  he  must  ascertain  the  facts  with  as  much 
accuracy  as  possible,  from  those  living  in  the  vicinity, 
and  fill  out  a Schedule  himself.  In  such  cases,  he 
should  certify  upon  the  Schedule  that  he,  the  Enu- 


merator, has  tilled  it  out  without  the  authority  of 
the  owner  or  lessee. 

10.  Itefusnls  to  A waver . — If  any  person  neglects 
to  till  a schedule,  you  should  write  down  the  replies, 
making  the  inquiries  verbally.  If  a person  refuses 
to  answer,  call  attention  to  Instruction  2,  and  if  nec- 
essary, to  the  penalty  to  which  lie  (or  she)  is  liable. 
If  the  person  persists  in  the  refusal,  use  no  threats, 
but  simply  mention  that,  in  obedience  to  instructions, 
you  must  report  the  delinquency  to  this  office.  For 
this  purpose,  use  the  “ Penalty  Notice,”  a number  of 
copies  of  which  have  been  supplied  to  you. 

1 1.  Penalty  for  Neglect  or  Refusal. — Chap,  :18b, 
Acts  and  Resolves  of  1874,  sec.  f>,  provides  that,  “if 
any  party  authorized  by  said  bureau  (of  statistics 
of  labor)  to  collect  statistics  under  this  act  shall 
wilfully  neglect  to  make  true  returns  of  his  doings, 
as  may  be  called  for,  he  shall  forfeit  and  pay  a fine 
not  exceeding  Two  Hundred  Dollars ; and  if  any 
person  shall  refuse  to  give  information  required  by 
this  act,  to  a person  duly  authorized  to  receive  the 
same,  he  shall  forfeit  and  pay  a fine  not  exceeding 
One  Hundred  Dollars." 

1 12.  Signing  of  Schedules. — A schedule  must  not 
be  considered  complete  until  properly  signed.  Any 
member  of  a firm  or  person  authorized  by  a firm, 
may  sign  : thus,  “John  Smith  and  Sons,  by  Henry 
L,  Elliott.”  Where  people  can  not  write,  you  may 

his 

sign  thus:  MicahX Jones,  by 

mark 

Enumerator;  but  in  no  case,  than  of  such  inability, 
should  you  sign. 

13.  Verifying  Returns.  — When  you  begin  to 
collect  the  schedules,  you  should  inspect  each  one, 
to  see  if  it  is  plainly  and  legibly  written.  Then 
examine  it  to  see  if  the  inquiries  seem  correctly 
answered,  correcting,  after  verbal  inquiry,  such  as 
are  plainly  erroneous,  or  are  not  written  out  with 
due  regard  to  the  Instructions.  Then  examine  the 
blank  spaces  to  see  if  questions  which  appear  appli- 
cable remain  unanswered.  In  all  such  cases,  make 
verbal  inquiries,  and  enter  the  replies  yourself. 
Where  persons  are  unable  to  write,  or  from  any 
cause  fail  to  fill  the  schedules,  it  will  be  your  duty 
to  make  verbally  the  necessary  inquiries  and  write 
the  answers  yourself.

Enumerator  s In 

14.  Time  and  Manner  of  Folding  Schedules. — 
The  schedules  must  not  be  folded  when  delivered, 
but  the  folding;  should  be  done  when  they  are  col- 
lected, and  will  indicate  those  completed.  It  should 
always  be  done  so  that  the  file  part  will  be  fully  in 
sight. 

If).  Disposition  of  Returns. — You  should  not  re- 
turn any  Schedules  to  this  office  until  your  entire 
work  as  an  Enumerator  for  the  “Census  and  De- 
cennial Industrial  Statistics”  is  completed.  When 
that  time  arrives,  do  them  up  securely,  together 
with  your  Enumerator’s  Books,  and  all  unused 
Schedules,  and  send  them  to  us  by  express,  at  our 
expense.  Do  not  fail  to  take  a receipt,  from  the  Com- 
pany, for  you  will  be  held  responsible  for  the 
Schedules  until  they  are  received  at  this  office. 

16.  Additional  Copies  of  Enumerator's  Book, 
No.  2. — If  you  find  that  this  book  is  not  large  enough 
for  the  entry  of  all  the  Schedules  delivered  in  your 
district,  notify  us  in  time  so  we  can  send  you  another 
and  have  it  reach  you  before  you  have  finished  this, 
and  thus  avoid  unnecessary  delay.  The  blank  pages 
at  the  back  of  this  book  are  inserted  for  memoran- 
dum purposes. 

17.  The  Industrial  Statistics  Schedule,  and  why 
it  is  sent  you. — A book  called  “The  Industrial  Sta- 
tistics Schedule”  is  sent  you  with  the  Industrial 
Statistics  Schedules,  and  it  will  be  of  service  to  you 
in  many  ways  in  the  prosecution  of  your  labors.  It 
is  a copy  of  the  original  Schedule  approved  by  the 
Governor  and  Council,  under  provisions  of  Chapter 
386,  Acts  of  1874,  sect.  3,  and  from  it  the  blanks 
relative  to  the  Industrial  Statistics  have  been  pre- 
pared. It  contains,  on  page  3,  and  pages  107-109 
inclusive,  the  laws  and  constitutional  provisions  by 
authority  of  which  the  decennial  work  you  are  en- 
gaged upon  is  conducted ; it  also  contains  all  the 
questions  found  upon  any  Industrial  Statistics 
blank,  which  has  been  sent  to  you. 

It  is  furnished  you,  that  you  may  have  the  laws 
to  which  you  may  need  to  refer,  at  hand,  and  to 
enable  you  to  settle  any  doubts  that  may  arise  in  the 
minds  of  manufacturers  as  to  your  right  to  ask  a 
particular  question,  which  might  appear  objection- 
able. 

You  will  find  by  examining  Division  1.  (Manu- 
factures) that  1076  names  of  manufactured  articles 


of  Work  for  Industrial  and  other  Schedules.  — Page  4,1 
structions.  ffo.  2. 

are  contained  therein.  These,  for  convenience  of 
reference,  and  from  the  fact  that  different  questions 
! are  asked  of  different  manufacturers,  are  arranged 
in  50  sections,  each  with  a thoroughly  descriptive 
title. 

Sec.  51  is  self-explanatory.  Division  II.  (Occu- 
pations) is  arranged  after  the  same  general  plan 
as  Div.  1.,  but  as  the  names  of  the  different  occupa- 
tions are  comparatively  few  in  number  they  are  all 
printed  on  the  Occupation  Schedule  (Form  8) . Sec. 
55  is  similar  to  Sec.  51  and  its  meaning  is  apparent. 
Division  III.  (Products)  and  Division  IY.  (Prop- 
erty) are  arranged  as  in  the  preceding  divisions ; 

! and,  as  in  the  case  of  Occupations,  the  names  of 
Products  and  the  names  of  Productive  Property  are 
enumerated  upon  the  Products  and  Property  Sched- 
ule (Form  9). 

Div.  V.  (sections  61-64  inclusive),  comprising 
Special  Inquiries,  is  easy  of  comprehension.  You 
j will  find  that  all  the  inquiries  therein  contained 
appear  upon  one  or  the  other  of  the  schedules  with 
| which  you  have  been  supplied. 

At  the  end  of  those  sections,  in  Div.  I.,  in  which 
it  was  impossible  to  give  every  separate  article  of 
manufacture  by  name,  you  will  find  a “note” 
printed.  This  note  means  that  those  articles  not 
mentioned  are  considered  as  being  made,  and  that 
the  questions  apply  equally  as  well  to  unenumerated 
articles  as  they  do  to  those  specified  byname.  The 
note  on  page  56,  makes  it  absolutely  impossible  for 
an  article  to  be  manufactured  which  is  not  compre- 
hended by  this  Schedule,  and  no  manufacturer, 
because  you  may  not  find,  in  the  Indistrial  Statistics 
Schedule,  the  exact  name  of  the  article  which  he 
may  make,  is  in  any  way  absolved  from  making  a 
full  return,  by  name,  of  what  he  does  manufacture. 

The  note  wherever  it  appears  in  the  Occupation, 
Products,  or  Property  divisions  has  a similar  com- 
prehensive scope,  and  it  is  deemed  impossible  for  an 
occupation  to  be  carried  on,  a product  to  be  raised 
j or  a kind  of  productive  property  to  exist  that  is 
not  comprehended  by  this  Schedule,  and  the  appro- 
priate questions  indicated.  Such  being  the  case,  it 
follows  that  every  manufactured  article,  every 
occupation,  each  product  and  each  kind  of  product- 
ive property  can  be  enumerated  BY  ITS  OWN 
NAME  and  the  need  entirely  obviated  of  returning 
anything  under  the  head  of  “miscellaneous,”  “not 
otherwise  enumerated,  ” or  any  other  unmeaning 
and  entirely  valueless  designation.

[The  Enumerator's  Book  of  Instructions  and  Record  of  Work  for  Industrial  and  other  Schedules.  — Page  5.] 


Enumerator's  Instructions.  Ho.  2. 


The  use  to  be  made  by  you  of  the  industrial 
Statistics  Schedule  is  twofold  -.  first,  when  delivering 
Schedules;  second,  when  collecting  them.  For 
instance,  suppose  when  delivering,  a person  says 
he  is  engaged  in  “Bottling."  You  may  not  feel 
sure  whether  “Bottling”  is  a manufacture  or  an  oc- 
cupation. Turn  to  the  index,  on  page  98,  and  you 
will  find, — “ Bottling , page  69.”  Referring  to  that 
page  (69),  you  will  find  that  Bottling  is  an  occupa- 
tion, and  you  will  therefore  leave  an  Occupation 
Schedule.  On  page  99  you  will  find, — 

Cheese  (Food  Preparations),  Page  26. 

Cheese  (Domestic  Manufactures),  Page  77. 

Turning  to  these  pages  you  will  find  the  making 
of  “cheese”  is  classified  both  as  a manufacture  and 
and  as  a product. 

It  is  a manufacture  when  the  cheese  is  made  at  a 
factory  and  the  proprietor  should  receive  and  fill 
out  a Manufactures  Schedule.  When  the  cheese  is 
made  by  a farmer  or  his  family,  whether  for  sale  or 
use  in  the  family,  it  is  a Product,  and  the  maker 
should  receive  and  fill  out  a Products  and  Property 
Schedule.  An  examination  of  the  Index  to  Sched- 
ule Heads  will  show  several  similar  points,  and 


care  must  be  taken  in  deciding  which  Schedule 
should  be  delivered. 

The  principal  use  of  the  Industrial  Statistics 
Schedule  in  collecting  will  be  the  aid  it  will  give 
in  supplying  the  names  of  manufactured  articles, 
concerning  each  one  of  which  the  questions  annexed, 
in  the  Schedule  section,  are  answerable. 

Thus  (see  page  31),  if  a manufacturer  of  lumber 
returns  “laths,  piles  and  shingles”  on  one  line, 
when  describing  goods  manufactured,  you  should 
separate  into  “laths” — “piles” — “shingles”  on 
successive  lines — and  get  the  particulars  for  each 
item  separately,  and  not  as  a whole. 

If,  when  delivering  or  collecting,  you  come  across 
the  name  of  some  manufactured  article,  product  or 
occupation,  not  enumerated  in  this  Schedule,  you 
will  do  well  to  write  it  in  your  Schedule  in  its  ap- 
propriate  Division  and  Section  as  its  presence  in 
your  book  may  be  of  value  further  along  in  your 
work. 

18.  How  to  avoid  Double  Enumeration. — When 
a person  or  firm  receives  both  a Manufactures  and 
Occupation  Schedule,  the  questions  thereon,  com-

Enumerator's  Instructions.  Ho.  2. 


mon  to  both,  should  be  answered  only  on  one,  and 
that  one  should  represent  the  .larger  part  of  the 
business  done.  This  course  will  become  necessary 
when  it  is  found  impossible  to  properly  separate  the 
employes  into  two  classes  and  return  a part  upon 
each  schedule.  If,  however,  two  sets  of  employes 
are  at  work,  one  in  Manufacturing  and  one  in 
an  Occupation,  both  Schedules  should  be  answered 
in  full.  The  object  of  this  instruction  is  to  prevent 
the  double  enumeration  of  employes. 

19.  How  to  enter  in  Enumerator's  Book,  No.  2 • 
— The  foregoing  form  shows  how  to  begin  this 
Enumerator’s  Book.  The  numbers  of  each  of  the 
four  Schedules  should  begin  with  1,  and  continue 
numerically  in  order,  being  numbered  in  order  of 
delivery.  You  will  see  that  if  this  plan  is  adhered 
to  strictly,  when  your  delivery  is  completed  the 
number  placed  last  in  the  Manufactures  Schedule 
column  will  show  the  whole  number  of  such  Sche- 
dules delivered  by  you.  In  the  same  way,  in  the 
other  columns,  the  last  number  entered  in  each, 
respectively,  will  show  the  number  of  Occupation, 
Products  and  Property,  and  Special  Schedules 
delivered  by  you.  The  way  indicated  of  filling  the 
last  column  (Date  of  Taking  up  Schedule)  is  to 


be  preferred,  as  there  will  then  be  no  doubt  about 
the  date.  When  you  finish  a street  (particularly  if 
in  a city)  begin  the  enti’ies  for  the  next  street  at  the 
top  of  the  next  page.  You  must  use  especial  care 
that  every  person,  firm,  corporation,  etc.,  in  your 
district  receives  the  necessary  schedules,  and  to  do 
this  you  must  so  lay  out  your  routes,  that  in  no  way 
will  it  be  possible  for  you  to  miss  a part  of  any 
street,  lane,  alley,  court,  place  or  road.  Be  partic- 
ularly careful  in  the  case  of  a large  block,  fronting 
on  several  streets. 

20.  When  to  begin  work,  with  the  Schedules  now 
sent  you. — It  is  not  expected  that  you  will  wait 
until  you  have  completed  your  work  with  the  “ Fam- 
ily” and  “ Individual ” Schedules  before  beginning 
your  work  with  those  now  sent  you ; but  you  can 
make  use  of  these  at  once,  and  carry  on  the  whole 
work  in  concert,  as  in  many  places  it  will  save  you 
considerable  travel  to  do  so.  In  cities  and  large 
towns,  it  may  be  more  convenient  to  finish  with  the 
“ Family  ” and  “ Individual " Schedules  before  be- 
ginning with  these  ; in  that  case  you  can  do  so.  It 
should  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  whole  work  must  be 
prosecuted  with  diligence.

INSTRUCTIONS.  — The  Enumerator  should  enter  the  date  of  receiving  Schedules,  etc.,  and  the  day  of  beginning  work  at  the  time , and 
not  depend  upon  memory  for  these  points.  The  number  of  hours  worked  each  day  should  be  entered  at  the  time  in  the  space  opposite  the  proper  date. 
The  aggregate  statement  can  be  made  up  at  the  close  of  your  work  from  the  Time  Account,  reckoning  ten  hours  for  a day.  The  certificate  on  this  page, 
and  the  bill-form  and  oath  on  the  next  page,  must  be  properly  filled  out  in  order  to  secure  approval  of  the  account.  This  sheet  must  not  be  torn  apart,  and 
must  be  returned  to  this  office  immediately  upon  completion  of  your  work,  in  an  envelope  by  itself.

GENERAL  INSTRUCTIONS 

To  guide  the  Head  of  each  Family  in  filling  out 
the  Family  Schedule  which  accompanies 
this  Instruction  Sheet. 

. The  object  of  the  present  Census  is  to  find  the  exact  numbers,  ages 

and  occupations,  and  the  condition,  in  many  other  respects,  of  the 
people  of  this  Commonwealth.  If  the  Inquiries  on  the  Schedules  left 
✓Avith  you  are  fully  answered,  the  increase  and  progress  of  the  people  of 
the  whole  State,  for  the  past  ten  years,  will  be  ascertained.  If  every 
individual  does  his  duty,  the  returns  will  be  complete,  and  benefit  will 
certainly  accrue  to  the  body  politic  and  to  each  individual  citizen. 

The  facts  obtained  are  not  to  be  used  as  the  basis  of  any  system  of 
taxation,  or  other  liability,  and  the  information  secured  will  be  pre- 
sented in  the  Census  Abstracts  by  figures  only,  the  names  of  persons 
in  no  case  being  printed.  The  Enumerator  is  bound  by  his  oath  of 
office  to  consider  your  replies  as  strictly  confidential,  and  they  will  be 
examined  only  by  him  and  by  the  parties  in  this  office  who  prepare  the 
returns  for  printing. 

The  head  of  each  family  should  include  in  his  return  the  names 
and  the  desired  particulars  concerning  every  person  whose  usual  place 
of  abode  was  in  his  family  on  the  first  day  of  May,  1875.  Those  per- 

sons  whose  usual  place  of  abode  is  in  his  family,  but  who,  on  that  day, 
were  travelling  or  visiting  out  of  the  State,  or  who  were  absent  in  the 
Army,  Navy,  or  at  sea  in  any  capacity,  he  should  also  include.  Those 
temporarily  absent  from  their  usual  place  of  abode,  and  travelling  or 
visiting  in  the  State,  on  that  day,  should  also  be  included  by  him.  He 
should  return  as  “visitors”  only  those  who  have  no  regular  place  of 
abode  in  this  State,  but  are  temporarily  present,  May  First,  in  his 
family,  'flic  facts  as  existing  on  the  First  of  May,  1875,  are  the  ones 
desired;  consequently,  if  a person  living  in  the  family  on  the  First  of 
May  has  died  since,  the  particulars  should  be  entered,  by  the  head  of 
the  family,  the  same  as  if  the  party  were  living. 

Inquiries  11,  12,  13,  14,  15  and  16,  in  the  majority  of  cases,  will  be 
answered  by  keepers  of  prisons  and  almshouses,  superintendents  of 
charitable  institutions,  hospitals,  etc. 

The  Family  Schedule  contains  columns  (numbered  in  order 
at  the  top  of  the  sheet,)  for  a family  of  twelve  persons,  there 
bejng  seven  columns  on  the  first  page  (marked  A),  and  five  on  the 
second  page  (marked  B).  The  first  page  (A)  should  be  used  first. 
Families  containing  more  than  twelve  persons,  almshouses,  prisons, 
reformatory  and  charitable  institutions,  boarding-houses,  boarding- 
-schools, hotels,  etc.,  will  be  furnished  a sufficient  number  of  the  Fam- 
ily Schedules  for  their  needs.  The  head  of  the  family,  in  entering 
particulars,  should  make  use  of  column  J . The  wife  of  column  2, 
The  remaining  columns  should  be  used  for  children,  relatives,  boarders 
servants  and  visitors,  in  the  order  named. 

When  the  Enumerator  leaves  the  Schedules  with  you  to  be 
filled,  he  will  name  the  day  on  which  he  will  call  for  them,  and  you 

are  desired  to  have  the  spaces  filled  in  by  the  morning  of  that  day,  in 
order  that  his  progress  may  not  be  delayed. 

It  will  be  his  duty,  under  the  law,  to  complete  the  return  if  it  be 
defective,  and  to  correct  it  if  it  be  erroneous.  Black  ink  should  be 
used  in  writing,  in  all  cases  where  possible.  Replies  written  in  pencil 
will  be  accepted,  if  the  writing  is  firm  and  legible.  The  Enumerator  is 
authorized  to  reject  such  returns  as  are  faintly  written  or  illegible.  A 
Family  Schedule  should  be  filled  out  by  the  head  of  every  family,  or 
under  his  direction.  If  the  dwelling-house  is  occupied  by  more  than 
one  family,  the  head  of  each  family  must  make  a return  for  his  part  of 
the  house  upon  a separate  schedule. 

Persons  who  refuse  to  give  correct  information  render  themselves 
liable  to  prosecution,  and  a fine  of  One  Hundred  Dollars , (Chap.  386, 
Acts  of  1874,  Section  6).  The  Enumerators  are  supplied  with  blank 
forms  in  which  to  enter  cases  of  failure  to  reply,  and  instances  of 
wilful  mis-statement.  When  necessary,  they  will  be  filled  out  and  sent 
to  this  Bureau,  the  officers  of  which  arc  bound  by  law  to  immediately 
furnish  the  facts  to  the  Attorney-General  in  order  that  he  may  institute 
a prosecution  in  accordance  with  Section  7 of  the  law  above  referred  to.

SPECIAL  INSTRUCTIONS 


Relating-  to  each  Inquiry,  to  guide  the  Head 
of  each  Family  in  filling  out  the  Family 
Schedule  which  accompanies  this 
Instruction  Sheet. 


Inquiry  1. 

No  instruction  is  needed  for  answering  this  in- 
quiry. 

Inquiry  2. 

The  Head  of  Family,  whether  a husband  and 
father,  a widow,  or  an  unmarried  person  of  either 
sex,  in  answering  this  question  should  write  the 
words  “ Head  of  Family."  Other  members  of  the 
family  should  write  a properly  distinctive  word  as, 
“Wift “ Son,"  “ Daughter ,”  “ Boarder,"  “ Servant," 
“ Visitor,"  etc. 

Inquiry  3. 

Write  “male"  or  “female,"  as  the  case  may  be, 
and  the  age,  at  nearest  birthday,  immediately  after 
it  in  figures.  The  ages  of  children,  under  one  year, 
should  be  expressed  fractionally  in  twelfths  of  a 
year:  as,  two  months,  nine  months,  f-%. 


Inquiry  4. 

In  answering  this  question  use  the  words  “white," 
“ black,  ” “ mulatto,  ” “ Indian,  ” “ Chinese,  ” 

“ fapanese,  ” etc. 

Inquiry  5- 

Write  the  words  “single,”  “married,”  “widowed” 
or  “divorced,”  as  the  case  may  be. 


Inquiry  6. 

Answer  in  numerals;  and  the  figures  given  should 
include  children  which  were  alive  at  birth,  whether 
they  are  now  living  or  dead.  This  inquiry  has  no 
connection  with  Inquiry  7,  the  “place  of  birth” 
there  required  being  that  of  the  person  whose  name 
is  at  the  head  of  the  column. 


Inquiry  7- 

If  born  in  Massachusetts,  write  the  name  of  the 
town  and  also  the  State : as,  “ Peru,  Mass.  ; ” if  born 
in  the  United  States,  but  not  in  Massachusetts, 
write  the  name  of  the  State  only:  as,  “Ohio;  if 
born  in  a foreign  country,  of  foreign  parents,  write 
the  name  of  the  the  country  only;  if  born  in  a for- 
eign country,  of  American  parents,  write  the  name 
of  the  country,  and  immediately  under  it  the  words 
“Am erica n citizen . ’ ’ 


Inquiry  8. 

Where  practicable,  and  especially  where  it  may 
seem  necessary  for  the  sake  of  explicitness,  every 
person,  in  respect  to  their  Trade,  Profession  or 
Occupation,  is  desired  to  state  these  three  things  : the 
general  name  of  the  trade, — the  particular  name  of 
the  branch  followed, — the  material  worked  upon. 
As  “ Factory  Operative — Cotton  Spinner."  In 
many  cases  the  general  name  indicates  these  three 
things  and  is  sufficient  of  itself:  as,  “ Tinsmith." 

Mechanics  should,  in  no  case,  return  then\selves 
as  “mechanics,”  but  should  state  the  specific  trade 
followed:  as,  “ Machinist ,”  “Plumber,"  etc. 

In  those  trades  which  have  subdivisions,  they 
should  also  state  the  specific  branch  which  they 
follow:  as,  “ Shoemaker — luster,"  “Hatter — finisher." 
So,  factory  operatives  should  give  the  specific  name 
indicating  the  branch  of  work  they  perform,  and 
the  material  worked  upon:  as,  “Factory  Operative 
— Cotton-Spooler;  “ Factory  Operative — Woollen 
Weaver So,  all  engaged  as  workers  in  any  and 


every  kind  of  manufacturing  process,  should  give 
firstly  the  general  name,  if  there  be  one,  indicating 
thus  with  some  exactness  the  trade  they  follow  and 
the  material  worked  upon,  and  secondly,  the  specific 
name  indicating  thus  precisely  the  particular  work 
they  do. 

Employers  in  all  industrial  processes  should 
state  the  name  of  the  business,  and  add  the  words 
“ Employer"  or  ‘ ‘ Manufacturer, ’ ’ as  may  be  most 
proper:  as,  “ Cotton  Goods  — Manufacturer,"  “ Stone 
Mason  — Employer.  ’ ’ 

Persons  owning  or  hiring  farms  or  market-gar- 
dens, should  return  themselves  as  “ farmers ” or 
“market-gardeners ;"  persons  hired  to  work  in  any 
capacity  on  farms  or  market-gardens,  should  return 
themselves  a.s  “farm  laborers"  or  “ garden  laborers ,” 
as  the  case  may  be. 

Persons  employed  in  stores  should  not  make  use 
of  the  indefinite  word  “clerk,”  but  should  employ 
the  exact  term  proper  to  indicate  the  particular  work 
they  do  : as,  “Porter,"  “ Book-keeper etc.  Sales- 
men should  indicate  the  material  sold;  but  it 
is  not  desired  that  other  employes  in  stores  should 
state  the  material:  as,  “Salesman — Dry  Goods," 
“ Salesman — Hardware."  Commercial  agents,  drum- 
mers, and  all  who  travel  and  sell  goods  by  sample 
(except  book  agents),  should  return  themselves  as 
traveling  salesmen,  and  state  also  the  line  of  goods: 
as,  “ Traveling  Salesman—  Clothing."  Book  agents 
should  return  themselves  as  such.  Merchants  of  all 
classes  should  state  whether  wholesale,  retail  or 
commission,  and  also  give  name  of  the  staple  dealt 
in:  as,  “ Wholesale  Merchant — Dry  Goods,”  “ Retail 
Merchant — Groceries.”  -Other  traders  should  give 
the  specific  name  of  their  business:  as,  “Junk 
Dealer ,”  “Milkman.”  Hucksters,  peddlers,  ven- 
ders of  notions,  and  all  unmentioned  classes  engaged 
in  the  business  of  exchanging  or  selling  any  article, 
should  return  themselves  by  the  most  accurately 
descriptive  name. 

Those  persons  working  for  bank  corporations, 
railroad  and  transportation  companies,  telegraph 
companies,  and  all  similar  corporations,  should  return 
themselves  by  the  exact  name  indicating  the  particu- 
lar work  they  da,  or  office  they  hold:  as,  “ Horse-car 
Conductor,”  “ Brakeman,"  “Bank  Cashier,”  “ Cotton 
Mill  Agent,”  etc.  National,  state,  county,  city  and 
town  officials,  when  their  office  is  their  principal 
business,  and  is  what  they  “chiefly  depend  upon  for 
a livelihood,”  should  return  themselves  by  the  name 
of  their  office. 

Those  belonging  to  the  professions  should  answer 
this  question  with  the  same  reference  to  precision. 
Teachers  and  professors  should  not  enter  themselves 
simply  as  such,  but  should  state  in  addition  the  par- 
'icular  science  or  art  in  which  they  instruct:  as, 
'•  Teacher  of  Public  School “ Teacher  of  Music,” 
“ Teacher  of  Dancing,”  “ Professor  of  Languages,” 
“ Tutor — Private,”  “ Tutor  in  College.”  Artists 
should  designate  the  particular  art  they  cultivate:  as, 
“ Artist  — Painter ,”  “Artist  — Sculptor ; ” profes- 
sional musicians,  singers,  etc.,  should  so  designate 
themselves.  Professional  authors,  writers,  editors, 
etc.,  should  return  themselves  by  the  appropriate 
name;  but  those  who  make  authorship  subsidiary  to 
other  employment,  shonld  return  themselves  by  the 
name  of  the  latter. 

Physicians  should  state  whether  they  are  practising 
as  “ General  Physician,”  “ Physician  — Specialist,” 
“Surgeon,”  “ Dentist,"  “Oculist,”  “■Mesmeric 
Physician “ Veterinary  Surgeon,”  etc.  Spiritual 
mediums,  who  make  mediumship  their  special  busi- 
ness, should  return  themselves^as  such.  Clergymen 
should  give  the  denomination  to  which  they  belong, 
and  if  without  parish,  should  so  state  it : as,  “ Clergy- 
man— Baptist ,”  “ Clergyman — Methodist — without 
parish.” 

Women  keeping  house  for  wages,  should  return 
themselves  as  “House-keepers ;”  wives  or  others, 
keeping  house,  but  not  for  wages,  should  write 
“Housewife.”  In  respect  to  young  children  who  do 
not  work,  the  word  “ Unemployed”  should  be 
written. 

Persons  having  more  than  one  occupation,  should 
give  only  the  one  upon  which  they  chiefly  depend 
for  a livelihood. 

The  occupations  of  Convicts,  previous  to  incar- 
ceration, and  of  Paupers,  before  they  became  such, 
should  be  given. 

The  above  instructions,  regarding  occupations, 
apply  as  fully  to  women  and  children  as  to  men. 


Inquiry  9. 

If  not  attending  the  time  mentioned,  write  “No;  ” 
if  attending,  write  “ Yes — Public  School ,”  “ Yes  — 
Private  School,”  as  the  case  may  be.  If  under  five 
years  of  age,  write  “ Under  Age.”  If  taught  at 
home  by  a tutor  or  governess,  write  “At  Home.” 


Inquiry  10. 

If  you  can  both  read  and  write,  in  any  language, 
make  no  entries  in  the  spaces  opposite  this  question ; 
if  not,  the  answer  should  be  written,  “Can  not 
Read,”  “Can  not  Write,  either  or  both  as  the  case 
may  be;  in  the  case  of  children  under  ten  years  of 
age,  write  “ Under  Age.” 

Inquiry  11. 

If  you  are  deaf  write  the  word  deaf,  and  after  it 
some  word  to  indicate  the  degree  of  the  infirmity: 
as,  “ Deaf — slightly .” 

In  the  same  way,  answer  in  regard  to  Dumb  and 
Blind ; so,  in  regard  to  Insane,  write  the  word 
“Insane,”  and  after  it  to  denote  the  degree  of  the 
infirmity,  add  a properly  descriptive  term  : as,  Mania, 
Acute  Mania,  Suicidal  Mania,  Puerperal  Mania, 
Monomania,  Melancholia,  Dementia.  Similarly  in 
regard  to  Idiocy,  the  word  “ Idiotic " should  be 
written  for  answer,  and  a term  descriptive  of  the 
degree  added. 

State  also  all  combinations  of  these  diseased 
conditions:  as,  “Blind,  completely  — Idiotic ;”  also 
all  complications  with  other  diseases,  particularly 
Paralysis  and  Epilepsy. 

Inquiry  12. 

If  born  so,  write  “ from  birth;”  in  other  cases 
give  the  length  of  time  the  infirmity  has  existed. 

Inquiry  13. 

No  explanation  seems  necessary  except  that  this 
inquiry  will  not  be  applicable  when  question  12  is 
answered  “frojti  birth.” 

Inquiry  14. 

You  are  desired  to  give  the  relationship,  as 
cousin,  sister,  etc.,  of  all  living  blood  relatives  who  | 
are  similarly  afflicted,  — the  relationship,  as  uncle, 
grandfather,  great  grandmother,  of  all  dead  blood  j 
relatives  who  were  similarly  afflicted.  You  are  de- 
sired to  give  also  the  relationship  of  all  living  and 
dead  blood  relatives,  who  are,  or  have  been,  afflicted  t 
with  atiy  of  the  eniunerated  diseased  conditions  : as,  , 
if  the  case  under  consideration  is  one  of  idiocy,  and  J 
the  grandmother  was  insane,  say  “Idiotic — grand- 
mother Insane.” 

\ 

Inquiry  15. 

As  causes  of  Pauperism,  which  may  be  given  as 
answers  to  this  inquiry,  may  be  mentioned  “ Intem- 
perance ,”  “Old  Age,"  “Physical  or  Mental  Infirmity ,” 
etc. 

Inquiry  16. 

Give  the  crime  for  which  undergoing  imprison- 
ment, and  also,  in  numerals,  the  number  of  times

the  person  is  now  incarcerated  the  third  time  and 
that  this  imprisonment  is  for  burglary. 

Inquiry  1 7. 

In  the  case  of  every  male  person,  whether  of 
native  or  foreign  birth,  over  20  years  of  age,  and 
not  an  idiot,  convict,  pauper,  nor  Indian,  write  the 
words  “ Ratable  Poll;  ” if  an  idiot,  convict,  pauper  or

Inquiry  18. 

By  a legal  voter  is  meant  every  native  male  person, 
who  has  reached  the  age  of  21  years,  not  an  idiot, 
pauper  nor  convict;  and  every  foreign-born  male 
person,  who  has  been  naturalized,  not  an  idiot, 
pauper  nor  convict.  The  answer  to  this  inquiry 
should  include  both  native  and  natuialized  legal

work  by  temporary  illness,  on  that  day,  or  did  not  work 
when  you  had  employment  and  could  have  worked,  yon 
will  consider  yourself  at  work,  and  answer  “ Yes.”  3. 
Every  child  (under  21  years  of  age)  should  be  considered 
as  dependent  upon  the  head  of  a family  for  support,  unless 
their  time  has  been  given  them  legally.  A person  sup- 
porting a father,  mother,  grand-parent,  other  relatives  or 
wards,  should  include  such  in  answering  this  question. 
Single  men  and  women,  with  no  one  dependent  upon 
them,  will  make  no  entry.  A person  answering  should 
not  include  himself,  or  herself,  in  the  number  given  as 
answer.  4.  Persons  having  fixed  hours  of  labor  will  find 
no  difficulty  in  answering  this  question.  Piece-hands 
should  give  average  number  of  hours  employed.  “ Occu- 
pation” means  the  one  given  as  answer  to  question  1. 
5,  G,  8,  f)  and  lO  need  no  explanation.  7.  If  you  receive 
hoard  in  addition  to  wages,  write  “and  board”  over  tho 
amount  of  wages.  11.  The  object  of  this  question  is  to 
find  the  number  of  those  whose  fixed  condition  is  that  of 
inability  to  work.  Those  who  expect  to  work  again, 
should  not  be  included  12.  If  the  deed  is  in  your  own 
name,  and  you  are  taxed  for  it,  answer  “Yes.”  If  any 
member  of  your  family  owns  it  (and  you  pay  them  no  rent) 
state  who  owns  it,  as  “ wife  owns  it.”  Bear  in  mind  that 
mortgaging  your  house  to  a party  does  not  make  him  the 
owner  of  it.  13, 14, 1 5 and  16  require  no  explanation. 
17.  To  obtain  the  answer  desired,  reckon  up  the  total 
money  value,  to  you,  of  all  the  products  of  your  garden 
for  tho  year,  used  in  your  family,  and  deduct  from  this 
the  total  of  all  moneys  paid  out  by  you  towards  that  pro- 
duction. The  remainder  will  be  the  amount  desired.  You 
must  not  charge  for  your  own  labor  nor  that  of  any  mem- 
ber of  your  family.  IS.  Put  down  the  actual  money  out- 
lay for  this  purpose.  If  for  “board,”  so  state  it.  11). 
Heads  of  families  should  give  tho  total  of  all  sums  depo- 
sited by  themselves,  their  wives  and  minor  children.  “ Or 
Yourself”  refers  to  visitors,  boarders,  servants  and  child- 
ren a&ore  21  years  of  age;  and  they  should  give  the  amounts 
of  their  individual  deposits  on  their  own  Individual  Sche- 
dule. 20.  Count  each  separately  bound  book  asa“volume.” 

Note.  — If  in  doubt  about  any  point,  confer  with  the  Enumerator  before  signing 
the  Schedule.

[Additional  Instructions  (No,  1)  found  necessary  to  expedite  the  work.] 

ADDITIONAL  INSTRUCTIONS  TO  THE  ENUMERATOR. 


First. — When  you  call  to  collect  Schedules,  do  not 
stop  to  explain  the  blank  and  try  to  have  parties  fill 
them  : but  at  once  make  the  proper  inquiries,  fill  the 
blanks  yourself,  and  proceed. 

Second. — It  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  Family 
Schedules  must  contain  returns  of  all  the  people  in 
the  Commonwealth,  as  from  them  is  obtained  the 
enumeration  of  the  inhabitants.  The  Individual 
Schedule  has  nothing  to  do  with  taking  the  account 
of  the  number  of  inhabitants. 

Third. — A family  comprehends  a man  or  woman 
living  alone,  or  a number  living  together.  Every 
person  in  the  State,  on  the  first  day  of  May,  must 
be  counted  and  returned  upon  one  of  the  Family 
Schedules  in  some  way. 

Fourth. — Where  dwellings  are  remote  from  settle- 
ments or  villages,  or  where  you  know  the  people 
to  be  unable  to  fill  the  blanks,  you  can  fill  them 
yourself  at  your  first  visit. 

Fifth. — Remember  that  the  Family  Schedule  is 
all  important;  push  this  with  diligence  and  thor- 
oughness. In  collecting,  get  all  the  Family  Sched- 
ules without  fail,  and  as  many  of  the  Individual 
Schedules  as  are  filled  out,  and  then  proceed. 

The  Individual  Schedule  is  for  the  purposes  of 
science,  and  has  nothing  to  do  with  the  enumeration 
of  the  people.  Its  aim  is  not  to  pry  into  private 
affairs,  but  to  present  features  in  statistics  bearing 
upon  the  welfare  of  the  working  community.  These 
Individual  Schedules  will  all  be  destroyed  as  soon 
as  the  figures  on  them  are  tabulated,  and  no  record 
will  be  kept  of  the  names  and  residences  on  them. 
We.  are  constantly  being  asked  by  Enumerators, — 
“Who  should  receive  the  Individual  Schedule.” 

The  first  question  on  this  Schedule  is,  “ What  is 
the  Occupation  upon  which  you  chiefly  depend  for 
a livelihood  ? ” If  they  receive  wages  or  salary  from 
THAT  occupation,  you  should  deliver  them  Indivi- 
dual Schedules ; hut  no  others  should  receive  them. 
Be  sure  to  leave  as  many  Individual  Schedules  as 
there  are  persons  of  the  above-mentioned  class  in 
the  house.  If  it  will  facilitate  your  work,  omit 


Bureau  of  Statistics  of  Labor, 

33  Pemberton  Square,  Boston,  May  25,  1875. 


the  numbering  in  space  “A,”  on  Form  (i,  and  the 
corresponding  record  in  your  book 

Sixth. — If  there  are  many  people  in  your  district 
who  do  not  speak  or  understand  English,  so  that  the 
services  of  an  interpreter  are  rendered  necessary, 
you  are  directed  to  employ  one,  who  will  be  paid  an 
equal  amount  with  yourself  for  an  equal  number  of 
hours  of  work,  llis  account  must  be  sworn  to,  as 
yours  must  lie,  and  should  be  returned  in  company 
with  yours  to  this  office  for  settlement.  Any  ex- 
penses you  are.  put  to  for  expressage  should  be  in- 
cluded in  your  account  against  this  office. 

Seventh. — You  should  be  able  to  gather  on  an 
average,  from  200  to  250  names  per  day.  In  many 
localities  you  can  gather  more. 

Eighth. — Inquiry  6 on  the  Family  Schedule  has 
reference  to  the  whole  number  of  children  born  to 
any  woman  whose  name  appears  on  the  Schedule, 
whether  she  is  wife,  widow,  boarder,  or  what. 

Ninth.  — A person’s  home  is  where  he  sleeps. 
This  question  is  often  asked  respecting  people  who 
lodge  in  one  place  and  board  in  another.  All  such 
persons  who  lodge  in  families  should  be  returned  on 
the  Family  Schedule  of  that  family;  but  if  they 
lodge  in  stores,  or  in  places  where  no  Family 
Schedule  would  naturally  be  left  on  which  they 
might  be  returned,  they  must  be  sought  out  and  a re- 
turn obtained  for  each  on  a separate  Family  Schedule. 

Tenth. — A jail,  a hospital,  or  any  such  institution 
is  looked  upon  as  constituting  a single  family,  and 
it  should  be  supplied  with  a sufficient  number  of 
the  Family  Schedules  on  which  to  enter  all  the  in- 
mates, as  only  twelve  persons  can  be  returned  on  a 
single  schedule.  The  blanks  used  to  make  up  a 
return  from  such  an  institution  should  be  fastened 
together  before  returning  them  to  this  office,  and 
marked  “.Jail,”  etc;. 

Eleventh. — Enumerators  are  desired  to  exercise 
diligence  in  their  work,  as  this  office  is  required  by 
law  to  prepare  an  abstract  of  the  census  returns, 
and  present  it  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth 
on  or  before  the  first  day  of  September  next.

Instructions  for  this  Page. 

The  figures  below  denote  reference  to  questions. 

It»is  thought  that  the  questions  on  this  page  are  worded 
so  as  to  meet  the  requirements  of  every  kind  of  manu- 
facture. But  there  are  four  businesses  neither  of  which  is 
properly  a manufacture,  but  yet  is  more  or  less  allied  to 
manufacturing.  These  are  Book  Binding , Building, 
Printing  and  the  business  carried  on  in  Print-  Works. 
To  make  this  blank  suitable  for  returns  from  these  estab- 
lishments, the  questions  noted  should  be  written  in  place 
of  those  found  on  the  blank,  and  the  latter  erased.

Manufacturers  of  Sails , in  filling  Columns  13,  13, 
and  14r,  should  distinguish  between  American  and 
foreign  fabric. 

3«  We  do  not  wish  for  an  assessor's  valuation  but 
desire  your  own  estimate  of  their  worth.  When  several 
manufactories  are  carried  on  in  one  building,  it  is  desir- 
able that  the  same  basis  should  be  used  in  estimating  the 
fractional  value  pertaining  to  each. 

3.  We  do  not  wish  for  the  assessor’s  valuation  but 
desire  your  own  estimate. 

8.  We  do  not  wish  for  the  present  value  of  such  ma- 
chinery, since  much  of  it  may  now  be  worthless ; but  wo 
desire  tho  cost , tho  object  being  to  ascertain  how  much 
has  been  puid  out  for  foreign  built  machinery  during  the 
decade. 

O.  By  value  of  stock  is  meant  cost.  Include  the  cost 
of  all  fuel,  water  and  illumination. 

lO.  By  value  of  goods  is  meant  market  value. 

13*  Consider  as  “stock”  everything  having  a mer- 
chantable value  used  in  tho  production  or  the  goods  which 
you  manufacture.  By  this  you  see  you  are  desired  to 
include  fuel  (the  various  kinds  separately,  and  in  respect 
to  Coal  whether  Anthracite  or  Bituminous)  water  (if  you 
buy  it)  and  whatever  is  used  for  illumination.  It  is  de- 
sired that  the  various  items  of  stock  should  be  given 
separately.  The  only  exception  to  this  should  bo  in  re- 
turning unimportant  and  trifling  articles  bought  only 
occasionally.  These  may  be  lumped  under  the  head  of 
“Sundries.  ”

EXPLANATION  OF  INQUIRY  45,  ABOVE. 

Team  work  is  a species  of  work  made  use  of 
to  some  extent  in  manufacturing  Boots  and 
Shoos,  and  by  it  is  meant  that  combination  of 
men  where  the  labor  of  all,  — each  doing  a par- 
ticular part, — is  necessary  to  the  production 
of  a single  boot  or  slice.  Where  the  system  of 
“ team  work  ” is  carried  on  in  the  manufacture 
of  other  goods  than  Boots  and  Shoes,  Inquiry  45 
is  generally  applicable. 


General  Notice. 

When  the  Enumerator  leaves  this  Schedule 
with  you  to  be  filled,  he  will  name  the  day  on 
which  he  will  call  for  it,  and  you  are  desired  to 
have  the  spaces  filled  in  by  the  morning  of  that  day 
in  order  that  his  progress  may  not  be  delayed. 

It  will  he  his  duty,  under  the  law,  to  com- 
plete the  return  if  it  he  defective,  and  to  correct 
it  if  it  he  erroneous.  Black  ink  should  be  used 
in  writing,  in  all  cases  where  possible.  Replies 
written  in  pencil  will  be  accepted,  if  the  writing 
is  firm  and  legible.  The  Enumerator  is  author- 
ized to  reject  such  returns  as  are  faintly  written 
or  illegible.  It  is  intended  that  every  Manufac- 
turer, no  matter  how  small  the  amount  of  goods 
produced  by  him,  should  receive  and  fully  fill 
out  one  of  these  Schedules. 


Persons  who  refuse  to  give  correct  informa- 
tion render  themselves  liable  to  prosecution, 
and  a fine  of  One  Hundred  Dollars,  (Chap.  386, 
Acts  of  1874,  Section  6).  The  Enumerators  are 
supplied  with  blank  forms  in  which  to  enter 
cases  of  failure  to  reply,  and  instances  of  wil- 
ful mis-statement.  When  necessary,  they  will 
be  filled  out  and  sent  to  this  Bureau,  the  officers 
of  which  are  bound  by  law  to  immediately  fur- 
nish the  facts  to  the  Attorney-General  in  order 
that  he  may  institute  a prosecution  in  accord- 
ance with  Section  7 of  the  law  above  referred  to.

Instructions. — The  object  of  the  above  section  is  to  get  returns  from  various  businesses 
related,  to  manufactures  which  could  not  properly  be  returned  on  the  Manufactures 
Schedule.  These  are  mostly  of  three  classes.  First,  the  constructing  of  something  which 
can  not  be  removed,  as  drain-building,  plastering  ; second,  the  making  or  contributing 
towards  the  completion  of  an  article  where  no  stock  or  but  an  inconsiderable  amount 
is  used,  as  bottling,  lathing,  cloth  finishing  ; third,  repairing  and  the  making  of  small 
or  trifling  articles  to  order,  as  jewelry  repairing , cobbling,  tinsmilhing. 

Some  employers  following  some  of  the  occupations  enumerated  produce  consider- 
able quantities  of  new  goods,  in  which  case  they  ought  to  receive  a Manufactures  Schedule 
on  which  to  make  return.  If  they  also  do  repairing  they  will  also  need  this  Schedule  to 
return  it  on.  Those  employers  who  can  properly  make  return  on  this  Schedule  but  do  not 


find  their  occupation  mentioned  should  erase  one  that  Is  enumerated  and  insert  their  own. 

By  Employers,  on  this  Schedule,  is  meant  those  carrying  on  a business  whether  they 
actually  hire  any  help  or  not.  Generally  speaking,  if  an  Employer  manufactures  anything, 
so  that  he  can  properly  make  his  return  on  the  Manufactures  Schedule,  he  should  do  so. 
If,  in  addition,  he  does  work  allied  to  manufacturing,  such  as  repairing  or  renovating,  he 
should  return  that  on  this  Schedule.  But,  if  he  does  not  produce  anything  that  can  be 
bought,  sold  or  exchanged, — in  short,  an  article — he  will  have  no  use  for  the  Manufactures 
Schedule,  but  should  make  his  return  on  this  Occupation  Schedule. 

Bleaching  and  dyeing  on  this  Schedule  applies  only  to  those  establishments  where  old 
goods  are  cleansed,  dyed,  etc.  Carpet-making  does  not  refer  to  the  Manufacture  or 
weaving  of  carpets,  but  to  the  Occupation  of  sewing  the  woven  breadths  together.

If  there  are  more  than  six  buildings  used  by  this  employer, 
obtain  another  Schedule  from  the  Enumerator  to  supply  you  with 
more  spaces,  or  rule  a form  like  the  one  above  and  affix  it  to  this 
Schedule.  “Basements”  and  “attics”  are  to  be  considered  as 
stories  in  answering  Inquiry  43;  but  wherever  they  occur,  write 
the  word  “basement”  or  “attic”  after  the  number  indicating  the 
number  of  stories ; as,  “ 3 basement , ” — meaning  three  stories,  one 
of  which  is  a basement. 

In  answering  Inquiry  44,  the  number  of  persons  employed  in  the  first  story  of  all  the  buildings  should  be  given  ; 
and  similarly  as  regards  the  other  stories.  Thus,  if  there  are  3 buildings  and  the  persons  employed  in  the  first 
story  of  each,  number  50,  30  and  60,  respectively,  return  the  total  number,  140  as  working  in  the  first  story.  In 
giving  means  of  escape  in  case  of  fire  (Inquiry  45),  mention  those  in  use  by  each  story  in  each  building.  Thus,  if 
there  are  two  buildings  and  you  wish  to  give  the  fire  escapes  for  the  first  story,  write  : 1st  story,  1st  building, 
inside  stairways,  doors  swing  both  ways  ; 2 d building,  inside  stairways  and  iron  outside  platforms.

Instructions  for  Inquiries  concerning  Farms.  Every  tract  of  land  (the  whole  or  part  of 
which  is  usually  cultivated),  whether  owned  or  hired  by  you,  should  be  regarded  as  a farm.  The  filling 
out  of  spaces  under  Inquiry  20  (Number,  Description  and  Value  of  Buildings)  will  show  those  farms 
which  have  dwelling  houses,  bams,  out-buildings  and  the  usual  appurtenances  of  a home.  In  stating 
value  of  farms  or  buildings  give  your  own  estimate  of  their  worth.  The  acreage  given  for  farms  should 


be  the  total  acreage  including  all  kinds  of  land,  whether  under  cultivation,  unimproved,  unimprovable, 
or  woodland.  These  kinds  are  subdivided  below  in  the  divisions  headed  “ Cultivated  Land " and  “Un- 
cultivated Land.”  The  respective  amounts  returned  in  the  last-named  divisions  (Cultivated  and 
Uncultivated)  added  together  should,  of  course,  just  equal  the  total  acreage  returned  for  your  farm  or 
farms.  In  answer  to  Inquiry  21  give  the  cos<,  to  you,  of  the  implements,  &c.,  in  use.

Instructions  for  Inquiries  concerning  Cultivated  Land,  a person  who  has  filled  out 
the  farm  return  above,  in  replying  to  inquiries,  in  this  division,  need  only  answer  Inquiries  25  and  26  as 
regards  his  kinds  of  Cultivated  Land ; for,  in  such  a case  27,  28,  29,  30  and  31,  are  identical  with  22, 23  and 
21,  above.  The  kinds  of  Cultivated  Land  mentioned  mayor  may  not  form  part  of  a farm;  the  object 


of  the  classification  of  cultivated  land  is  to  show  how  much  is  used  for  farm  crops,  how  much  as  a 
market  garden,  and  how  much,  respectively,  for  nurseries,  orchards,  and  seed  gardens.  Where  the 
market  garden,  nursery,  etc.,  does  not  form  part  of  a farm,  Inquiries  25  to  31  inclusive,  should  be 
answered  in  full.

Instructions  for  Inquiries  concerning  Uncultivated  Land.  The  kinds  of  Uncultivated 
Land  mentioned  may  or  may  not  form  part  of  a farm;  the  object  of  the  classification  of  uncultivated  land 
is  to  show  how  much  is  unimproved  land,  how  much  is  unimprovable  land,  and  how  much  is  woodland. 
Care  should  be  taken  in  returning  '‘'‘unimprovable"  land;  of  course,  land  used  for  roads,  or  covered  by 
deep  ponds  is  unimprovable  for  cultivation ; but  a shallow  pond,  or  a (at  present)  constantly  flooded  tract 


of  marsh  land  should  be  considered  rather  as  unimproved  than  as  unimprovable.  In  general,  if  you 
believe  a tract  of  land  on  your  farm,  by  proper  irrigation  or  drainage,  or  by  filling  In,  can  be  made  pro- 
ductive, return  such  land  as  unimproved.  Should  there  be  a mine,  quarry,  pit  or  bog,  of  any  kind,  upon 
your  farm,  include  its  acreage  in  the  total  / arm  acreage , and  the  area  of  each  kind  of  such  productive 
property  will  appear  as  answer  to  Inquiry  37  at  the  top  of  the  next  page  of  this  Schedule.

[Additional  Instructions  (No.  2)  fonnd  necessary  to  expedite  the  work.] 


ADDITIONAL  INSTRUCTIONS  TO  THE  ENUMERATOR. 

No.  2 


First. — As  to  Individual  Schedules,  Form  6.  It 
is  not  desirable  that  you  should  spend  any  time  upon 
them  beyond  leaving  them  where  you  think  they  be- 
long, and  taking  up  those  that  are  voluntarily  filled. 
Do  not  stop  to  fill  them  yourself,  or  to  insist  upon 
having  them  filled.  A sufficient  number  for  the 
purpose  for  which  they  were  made  has  already 
been  filled.  Bear  it  distinctly  in  mind  that  you  are 
not  to  spend  any  time  upon  them.  If  any  of  the 
questions  (even  one)  on  an  Individual  Schedule! 
are  answered,  it  should  be  regarded  as  of  value, 
and  sent  in.  The  last  clause  of  the  Fifth  Section  of 
Instructions  of  May  2oth,  187 was  not  clearly 
understood, — hence  the  above. 

Second.  — Complete  your  Family  Schedules  as 
rapidly  as  possible.  Do  not  spend  time  in  argu- 
ment, but  get  the  information  and  proceed  ; if  part- 
ies desire  you  to  sign  the  Schedules  yourself,  you 
can  do  so. 

Third.  — The  Products  and  Property  Schedule, 
Form  9,  is  not  quite  clearly  understood.  You 
should  have  it  filled  by  all  who  own  or  hire  farms, 
but  not  by  people  who  simply  have  a garden  from 
which  they  get  vegetables  for  personal  use.  As  a 
general  rule,  a farm  means  land  cultivated  for  the 
support  or  profit  of  the  proprietor.  In  this  respect, 
there  are  three  farming  classes  : 

1st,  those  who  are  farmers  in  the  general  accep- 
tation of  the  term.  2d,  those  who  carry  on  market 
gardens.  3d,  those  who  cultivate  more  or  less  land 
from  which  products  are  sold.  This  classification 
will  probably  assist  you  and  enable  you  to  decide 
in  most  cases.  Special  instances  will  arise  when 


you  will  be  obliged  to  consult  this  office.  Orchards 
from  which  fruit  is  sold  should  be  returned.  All 
hay  raised  should  be  returned.  You  can  fill  Form 
9 yourself,  if  you  prefer,  on  your  first  visit. 

Fourth. — The  Decennial  Census  and  Industrial 
Statistics  have  nothing  to  do  with  the  valuation  of 
houses  not  on  farms,  nor  the  valuation  of  village 
lots.  You  need  not  take  the  number  of  animals  of 
any  kind  except  those  upon  farms,  as  part  of  their 
stock  or  productions. 

Fifth. — No  consolidation,  footing  or  compilation 
with  reference  to  any  of  the  schedules  is  to  be  done 
by  you  ; but  as  soon  as  your  district  has  been  com- 
pleted, so  far  as  Forms  5 and  6 are  concerned, 
send  all  papers,  each  kind  done  up  by  itself  and 
properly  marked  to  this  office ; then  complete  the 
work  on  Forms  7,  8,  9 and  10  as  rapidly  as  possible, 
and  forward.  It  must  not  be  understood,  however, 
that  you  can  not  do  the  work  of  the  Industrial 
Statistics  at  the  same  time  with  the  Census  work  ; 
but  in  case  the  Census  work  is  completed  first,  send 
it  in  as  directed  above.  In  sending  packages  by 
express  do  not  fail  to  take  a receipt  from  the  Ex- 
press Co.  Many  Enumerators  have  failed  to  notify 
us  of  the  date  of  the  commencement  of  their  work. 
Those  who  have  not  done  so,  should  at  once  comply 
with  the  rule.  When  your  work  is  all  completed, 
sign  and  take  the  enclosed  oath  before  any  Justice 
of  the  Peace,  and  forward  to  this  office.  This  is 
essential  to  comply  with  the  law.  If  parties  en- 
gaged in  manufactures  or  occupations  desire  you  to 
fill  their  Schedules,  you  should  do  so.
